Popis: Obtaining the accurate location of the sensor nodes, which is known as the localization algorithm, is considered a significant issue in various applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The present study introduced two anchor-based localization algorithms, namely, H–V scan and diagonal localization. These two algorithms are based on the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and connectivity information, respectively. In addition, the diagonal algorithm relies on a diagonal trajectory in which the accuracy is improved while the consumed energy and localization time are decreased. Further, the H–V scan method benefits from collinearity and thus the location of the nodes is determined by the collinear position packets. Therefore, RWP, circle, LMAT, Z-curve, and H-curve methods, along with the proposed methods by Inet package of Omnetpp simulator were implemented for a fair comparison. The results indicated that in diagonal method accuracy improves about 1.2 times and consumed energy and localization time decrease about 65% compare to the best results of all the related studies. Furthermore, the results confirmed that the H–V scan which uses from collinearity concept, increases the accuracy about eight times.
