Fuzzy Analysis for Nodes Deployment Strategies in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The objective of a best sensor deployment policy is to have a fully connected network while optimizing coverage area at the same time. By optimizing the different parameters like distance, energy level, transmission loss and density of sensor nodes. the deployment plan would guarantee the optimum connectivity of sensor nodes, as required by the essential applications. By making sure that the network is connected, it is also ensured that the sensed data is transmitted to other nodes and perhaps to a centralized base station that can make important decisions for the application. This paper investigates the fundamental parameters of a wireless sensor network: that is optimization of node density, transmission range, transmission loss, residual energy and connectivity.
