There are several examples of real-life systems that incorporate the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to the wide range of needs that they address (environmental surveillance to structural health to battlefield surveillance and smart city). Determining the exact location of sensor nodes in these systems is critical to interpret data collection data and achieve optimal performance in the routing process in addition to aiding network monitoring activities. In large-scale, dynamic or obstructed environments, conventional localization methods fail due to high energy consumption, low measurement quality and low scalability. The network conditions, such as weak signal strength, which is not matched with node position and sparseness of network resources, render the conventional localization techniques less effective since they amplify the errors. The suggested approach integrates the processing facilities of evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence in order to maximize its findings. The optimal node positioning results are achieved through the balanced Global and Local optimization. Dynamic networking conditions reduce premature convergence by allowing real-time adaptation of the search behavior, which in turn is activated by solution feedback provided by dynamic search behavior controllers. The main aims of the presented work are threefold in nature; first, to create an intelligent hybrid localization framework that can perform better than the independent optimization methods regarding both the accuracy and stability; second, to test the model in a rigorous manner under a range of deployment conditions, such as the density of nodes, sparsity of anchors, and environmental noise; and third, to check the practicality of the model by comparing it to the state-of-the-art localization algorithms in terms of localization error, convergence, energy consumption, and scalability. Experiments demonstrate that the hybrid algorithm, when integrated, gives more successful localization results due to its ability to minimize location errors up to 30–40% as compared to other standard procedures. The approach provides consistent performance in both dynamic and unstable environments with spectacular results in situations where a non-direct sight terrain is applied and non-uniform network patterns are employed. Such hybrid solution is able to satisfy efficiency requirements with stability requirements thus becoming ready to be used in the real-time in WSN systems to support the disaster recovery and precision farm operation besides smart power delivery networks and unmanned vehicle systems. The study provides a fundamental enhancement to the WSN localization technology through the introduction of a versatile high-performing scheme that supports the needs of the current intelligent sensing system.
