Steps in distance vector technique for computing the position of unknown nodes.

Steps	Description of steps
Routing initialization	Beacon node broadcasts to all nodes and the hop count of its location information with 0 value initialized in the network [19].
Calculating distance	The average size of the hop and the unknown node distance is calculated with the assistance of the beacon node.
Position estimation	Unknown nodes estimate their position by the triangulation algorithm or maximum likelihood estimators or polygon method with the help of the anchor node.
