Abstract: Highlights•Discrete value of hop-count is converted to more accurate continuous value by utilizing the number of shared one-hop nodes between adjacent nodes.•The localization problem is formulated to be a minimizing optimization problem and Differential Evolution (DE) is applied to solve this optimization problem.•A novel localization algorithm (called DECHDV-Hop) is proposed, which performs better than other localization algorithms in different network situations.
