network (WSN) in 2D. A widely used algorithm to localize a WSN in 2D is trilateration, which
runs in polynomial time. Trilateration uses three distance measurements to localize a node.
In some cases, the lack of connectivity leads to a low percentage of localized nodes since a
node's position can be fixed using three distance measurements. We propose an algorithm
that finds the position of a node by using the absence of a distance measurement in addition …
