A Research of TOA Wireless Sensor Network Localization Algorithm

Wireless sensor network positioning technology has become one of research hotspots today. This paper mainly studies the TOA positioning algorithm based on WSN. The number of beacon nodes used to locate unknown nodes is discussed. There are four situations for the number of beacon nodes n=3, 4, 5, 7 that are analyzed via simulation, also locating error. We get the optimum value of n via simulations.
