A Smart Methodology for Deterministic Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

International audienceThis paper presents a smart methodology for deterministic deployment of wireless sensor networks. We discuss a set of factors involved in the wireless sensor network deployment problem, such as building abstract models, using simulation to rank deployment alternatives, and measuring the real performances of the network to verify that they meet the design goals. Network designers can use this methodology to determine the best network topology based on mission specific goals. The methodology can also be exploited to further analyze, compare, and validate deterministic deployment strategies. © 2014 IEEE
