In order to solve the shortcomings of the positioning accuracy and the computational complexity of the matrix in the classical MDS-MAP algorithm, an enhanced distributed MDS-MAP localization algorithm was designed and realized (EMDS-MAP(D)). The EMDS-MAP(D) </span><span style="font-family: ’Times New Roman’,serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">algorithm </span><span style="font-family: ’Times New Roman’,serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">does not need auxiliary hardware facilities, and can be used for the local computation of nodes, thereby reducing the amount of computation and communication .It is suitable for a shielding environment. The algorithm calculates the coordinates of relative nodes without the anchor node, only transformation absolute coordinates need a Global Positioning System (GPS) to locate a certain amount of coordinates (usually less than 10) and the number of the positioning coordinates does not depend on the size of the network. Theoretical analysis and simulation experimental results show that EMDS-MAP(D) can realize distributed computing and improve the positioning accuracy of the node.</span>}, number={03}, journal={International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)}, author={Zhang, Lu and Wang, Hailun and Hu, Zhiyong and Wang, Deyong}, year={2017}, month={Mar.}, pages={pp. 27–39} }
