description Abstract Location technology is the key support technology of wireless sensor network (WSN). The hop number and hop distance information obtained by traditional distance vector hop (DV-Hop) location algorithm can only be acquired by solving the nonlinear equations, and the solution of the equation determines the accuracy of node location. Although the least squares method has better estimation performance, the solution results are sensitive to the average hop distance, which will lead to the large error in the solution of the equation. In order to solve the problem of location error caused by initial value sensitivity of least squares method in the coordinate calculation stage of unknown nodes and beacon nodes, a range-free location algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach solves the problem of location error caused by initial value sensitivity of least squares method, obtains relatively accurate solution, and improves the accuracy of location algorithm. The experimental results show that the PSO algorithm has faster convergence speed and higher location accuracy than the non-optimization algorithm.
