Since the down hole operational environment is hostile, with serious potential safety hazards, it necessary to establish a perfect monitoring mechanism. As an entirely new communication carrier, wireless sensor network plays active role in of mine. The node localization technology foundation its application. Its accuracy has great influence on effect mine shaft communication. In randomly distributed network, traditional DV-Hop(Distance Vector-Hop) algorithm more error. this paper, original DV-Hop was improved by optimizing average skip distance anchor and correcting hop count between nodes. results MATLAB simulation comparison one indicate that increases which applicable some extent.
