It can recognize all con cave/convex nodes in the network as fixed anchor nodes, and simplify the following localization process based on these key nodes. The MPLPK protocol is composed of three steps. After all key nodes are found in the network, a mobile node applying improved minimum spanning tree （MST） algorithm is introduced to traverse and locate them. By taking the concave/convex nodes as anchors, the complexity of the irregular network can be degraded. And the simulation results demonstrate that MPEPK has 20% to 40% accuracy improvements than connectivity-based and anchor-free three-di- mensional localization （CATL） and approximate convex decomposition based localization （ACDL）.展开更多
