PLANNING AND ANALYSIS TOOL FOR LARGE SCALE DEPLOYMENT OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK
Apala Ray · 2009
In this paper the importance of tool-suite for large scale Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deployment scenario has been investigated. This tool-suite is classified depending on the required feature for WSN deployment. Here both pre-deployment and post deployment has been considered for classification. Planning tool is used in pre-deployment phase and diagnostic tool is used in post-deployment phase. To enable a good planning for WSN, a proper model of WSN and the number and position of sensor nodes are required. In post deployment phase, the diagnostic tool will monitor the health of the deployed network status. In this paper, a direction of development of this type of tool has been presented and the challenges of building this type of tool are also discussed.
