Wireless Sensor Network Localization Simulation Using MATLAB Genetic Algorithm Toolbox

This MATLAB-based wireless sensor network localization simulation program employs the Genetic Algorithm Toolbox to simulate and research wireless sensor network positioning. The implementation uses genetic algorithm optimization to determine optimal sensor node positions, achieving accurate localization through evolutionary computation techniques. The program includes functions for population initialization, fitness evaluation (typically using distance-based error metrics), selection, crossover, and mutation operations. Researchers can utilize this simulation to evaluate various localization algorithms and parameter configurations, assessing their impact on wireless sensor network positioning performance. The toolbox provides a convenient platform for comparing different genetic algorithm parameters such as population size, crossover rate, and mutation probability. Through this simulation environment, researchers can better understand and improve wireless sensor network localization techniques, advancing research and development in related fields. The code structure typically includes modules for network deployment, distance calculation, error minimization, and performance visualization.
