 Different range-free algorithms are proposed for location estimation in Wireless Sensor
Networks. In these algorithms, the network is assumed to have no error and false data. This article attempts
to evaluate and compare the effect of malicious data produced by node compromised attacks in some of the
range-free algorithms: DV-hop, LSVM, and NN. The false data may be produced by the malicious anchor
nodes or compromised sensor nodes. The resistance of these algorithms against node compromise attacks is
compared. The results show that although DV-hop has less localization error compared to the two other
algorithms in a normal condition, in the case of attacks LSVM has less localization error. Further, in this
research work, a new criterion is proposed for studying and comparing the border problem issue in the
localization algorithms. Using the simulation results from various algorithms, the outcomes have been used
for comparison, where it can be considered that LSVM has better performance in the border problem
compared with the other studied algorithms.
