Survey on node deployment in wireless sensor networks

Node deployment strategy plays an important role in wireless sensor networks(WSNs)application because it determines the coverage,connectivity and network lifetime of WSNs.This paper reports the current research on the optimization means for achieving the desirable design goals in various applications.We categorize the placements strategies into are the static and the dynamic according to whether the node position change after the network is operational.The coverage,connectivity and energy consumption of WSNs are analysed and discussed in detail.

Reliable Data Storage in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks by Jointly Optimizing Routing and Storage Node Deployment

In the era of big data,sensor networks have been pervasively deployed,producing a large amount of data for various applications.However,because sensor networks are usually placed in hostile environments,managing the huge volume of data is a very challenging issue.In this study,we mainly focus on the data storage reliability problem in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks where robust storage nodes are deployed in sensor networks and data redundancy is utilized through coding techniques.To minimize data delivery and data storage costs,we design an algorithm to jointly optimize data routing and storage node deployment.The problem can be formulated as a binary nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem,and due to its NP-hardness,designing approximation algorithms is highly nontrivial.By leveraging the Markov approximation framework,we elaborately design an efficient algorithm driven by a continuous-time Markov chain to schedule the deployment of the storage node and corresponding routing strategy.We also perform extensive simulations to verify the efficacy of our algorithm.

Energy Proficient Reliable Rim Routing Technique for Wireless Heterogeneous Sensor Networks Lifespan Fortification

Sensor nodes are mainly shielded in the field with limited power supply. In Wireless Sensor Networks, there must be a requirement of an efficient power management, because sensor nodes are deployed in unman attended area with non-rechargeable batteries. Power management can be done by different methods of routing protocols. The proposed Reliable Rim Routing (3R) technique is based on hybrid routing protocol for homogeneous and heterogeneous system for WSNs to ameliorate the performance of the overall system. In 3R, total node deployment area can be multipart in terms of rim and in each rim, and some of the sensor nodes transmit their sensed data directly to base station, and meanwhile remaining sensor nodes send the data through clustering technique to base station like SEP. Proposed 3R technique implementation proves its enhanced WSNs lifetime of 70% energy consumption and 40% throughput compared with existing protocols. Simulation and evaluation results outperformed in terms of energy consumption with increased throughput and network lifetime.
