    Location-based services are widely integrated in our daily lives, and they are used in various ways such as for investigating inventory goods and personal tracking in healthcare. With increasing applications of wireless localization, accuracy of location estimation requirements has become more critical. However, indoor localization suffers from multi-path interference that affects the traditional algorithmic calculation methods based on radio signal strength. The strength of radio signal depends significantly on antenna types and the deployment of wireless sensor network. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate a robust deployment of wireless sensor network considering antennas and optimal signal range to increase signal strength and to reduce receiving signal missing. A bi-response design approach was taken to evaluate antenna selection, signal range, and antenna power rate. The experiment result was applied with existing algorithm to prove effectives. Further, to avoid wireless sensors collision which may result in low accuracy of receiving radio signal, adaptive weight center of gravity localization (AWCG) were proposed. AWCG is based on an assumption of the dynamic relationship between the radio signal strength and the distance in different environments at different times. In the proposed localization algorithm, the error distance was approximately one meter. It is expected to significantly improve the location estimation accuracy with the suggested deployment and proposed algorithm.
