Deployment Techniques of Nodes in WSN for Multi-Domain Applications A Survey on their performance analysis

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network has been very interesting topic of research since many years. This survey paper focuses on performance comparison of different spatial Wireless Sensor Node (WSN) deployment algorithms that have been proposed and reviewed by many researchers through the years. The primary challenge will face in designing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to find tradeoff between the desired and contrary requirements for the lifetime, coverage or cost while coping with the computation, energy and communication constraints. This paper examines the optimal placement of nodes for a WSN. It is impractical to decide the deployment of the nodes separately from WSNs applications. This paper highlights the properties of WSNs applications which determine the placement problem. This work also identifies and analyzes the various objectives that should be considered while designing WSN. This paper also gives an overview and importance on multi-objective strategies, their assumptions, and optimization.
