Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are very susceptible to location errors due to malicious attacks on sensor nodes that distort the position of the sensor nodes, which will lead to an error during unknown node localization. In this paper, we propose a localization algorithm to defend against independent attacks and collusion attacks. In the algorithm, we first select three random reference nodes, then use the trilateral detection method and the confidence interval to get rid of the malicious nodes. We then use the PSO optimization algorithm to locate the unknown node, is called (Secure localization algorithm against advanced attacks-SL4A). Through the simulation results, we prove that our proposed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithms, in terms of the variability of malicious nodes and noise, average localization error and degree computational complexity.
