Jierui Xie · Modern Computer · 2006
The deployment of sensors is of importance in WSNs, in that it reflects the cost and the capability of monitoring. It becomes one of the fundamental issues following location and tracing. Lots of research work have been conducted outside China, but there are still a number of challenges due to the different situation and goal in each application. This paper is based on a lot of most resent published papers and research results, attempting to present the challenges and research status and the advantage and disadvantage of some existing algorithms. It points out the possible future work for deployment algorithm. Particularly, taking the design in environment monitoring as example, it discusses the important part that should be involved.
