Journal of Networking Technology Siwei Peng, Jihui Li, Hui Liu 7 3 2016 http://www.dline.info/jnt/fulltext/v7n3/jntv7n3_3.pdf A new distance independent localization algorithm in wireless sensor network is proposed. In the algorithm, improvement strategies is proposed for traditional DV-Hop algorithm to calculate the distance between unknown node to beacon nodes. Weighting for estimated average hop distance of each beacon node and using estimated average hop distance of multiple beacon nodes to reduce positioning error in the calculation of average hop distance.
