With the continuous improvement and development of wireless sensor network, it have been enriched to a great extent. Monitoring, processing and transmitting all kinds of sensing data is its main function, so their coverage issues have received widespread attention. Among them, the WSN coverage based on DV-Hop node positioning technology has low cost and power consumption with high scalability, and is extremely widely used. However, the current error control and WSN coverage of DV-Hop node positioning are not enough for practical applications. This research innovatively adopts an improved sparrow search pattern to optimise the DV-Hop localisation algorithm. The study introduces a deviation correction factor to adjust the minimum number of node hops and uses the minimum mean squared error criterion to correct the calculation error to reduce error. In addition, the study improved the sparrow search algorithm by means of a GPS optimisation population initialisation. In the algorithm performance comparison, GSSA showed the best convergence efficiency compared to other algorithms. The average error of the GSSADV-Hop localisation constructed in the study is 0.72 m, which is 77.71% less than the traditional DV-Hop error. The study provides a reference idea for the application of DV-Hop in WSN coverage, and offers a novel solution for the optimization of DV-Hop.
