Abstract
Localization is one of the important matters for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) because various applications are depending on exact sensor nodes position. The problem in localization is the gained low accuracy in estimation process. Thus, this research is intended to increase the accuracy by overcome the problem in the Global best Local Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (GbLN-PSO) to gain high accuracy. To compass this problem, an Improved Global best Local Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (IGbLN-PSO) algorithm has been proposed. In IGbLN-PSO algorithm, there are consists of two phases: Exploration phase and Exploitation phase. The neighbor particles population that scattered around the main particles, help in the searching process to estimate the node location more accurately and gained lesser computational time. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm have competence result compared to PSO, GbLN-PSO and TLBO algorithms in terms of localization accuracy at 0.02%, 0.01% and 59.16%. Computational time result shows the proposed algorithm less computational time at 80.07%, 17.73% and 0.3% compared others.
