Dear authors,
Thank you for submitting your article. Feedback from the reviewers is now available. It is not recommended that your article be published in its current format. However, we strongly recommend that you address the issues raised by the reviewers, especially those related to readability, experimental design and validity, and resubmit your paper after making the necessary changes. Before submitting the paper following should also be addressed:
1. Please write research gap and the motivation of the study. Evaluate how your study is different from others.
2. Organization of the paper should be given at the end of Introduction section.
3. The values for the parameters of the algorithms selected for comparison are not given.
4. The paper lacks the running environment, including software and hardware. The analysis and configurations of experiments should be presented in detail for reproducibility. It is convenient for other researchers to redo your experiments and this makes your work easy acceptance. A table with parameter settings for experimental results and analysis should be included in order to clearly describe them.
5. Equations should be used with equation number. Please do not use “following”, “as follows”, etc. Explanation of the equations should be checked. All variables should be written in italic as in the equations. Their definitions and boundaries should be explained. Relevant references should be given for the equations.
Best wishes,
localization accuracy in WSNs, making them more suitable for various applications such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and target tracking.
The abstract needs improvements , it should contains the problem background , proposed solution, the adopted methodology and the results obtained in a clear and concise manner so that the readers could get a clear idea about the innovation and novelty of the paper from the abstract.
The introduction provides a good overview of the significance of WSNs and localization. However, it could be strengthened by including a clearer statement of the specific problem or gap in current localization techniques that the proposed algorithms address.
Clarify how the proposed algorithms/research overcome specific challenges in WSN localization, such as time synchronization and unknown transmission parameters
Just define the abbreviations only once and then use them in rest of the article. As in current manuscript , this is repeated eg for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), it has been repeatedly defined in different sections of the manuscript.
The paper needs to be professionally edited by some experts to better understand the theme of the study.
Address any unexpected outcomes and provide insights into their possible causes.
Discussion:
Interpret the findings in the context of the study objectives and the broader field of WSN localization.
Discuss the implications of the results for practical applications and future research directions.

The paper explores localization algorithms for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), crucial for applications such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and target tracking. The study introduces innovative approaches to enhance the accuracy of both target and node localization within WSNs. This paper could get the wider readership of the audience, however, the following suggestions should be incorporated to further enhance the quality of the manuscript.
The authors must Start with a brief overview of the importance of localization in WSNs, its applications, and the challenges it addresses. Also please Clearly define the scope and objectives of the study.
Provide a roadmap for the paper to guide the reader through the subsequent sections in the introduction section.
The literature review seems to be too short and it needs expansion to provide a comprehensive overview of existing localization algorithms in WSNs.
