Efficient deployment strategies of sensor nodes in Wireless sensor networks

Deployment of sensors is a critical issue in the sensor network designing since it has significant impact on the performance of the network and determines the cost of deployment. Coverage and Connectivity can be considered as a performance measure of a Wireless sensor network (WSN) through which the quality of service (QoS) can be evaluated. We proposed a new strategy for sensor deployment and have calculated the deployment entropy for sensor distribution in diverse scenario. The greater the value of deployment entropy the more sensing coverage will be achieved. The simulation results show that our proposed strategies outperforms when compared with other similar works.
