A review paper on sensor deployment techniques for target coverage in wireless sensor networks
Manish Kumar, Vrinda Gupta · 2016
Wireless sensor network are widely used in different area application, especially in the field of surveillance and monitoring tasks. So for the implementation in practical life many constraint and challenge arise. In the present paper we are focused on one of main such constraint called deployment of sensor node for better coverage. In this paper we review on the different techniques on deployment like artificial bee colony, particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, artificial immune system and compare them on different aspects like complexity, scalability, region of interest, suitability to static or mobile wireless sensor network and applicability to multiple objective etc. We also present pseudo codes for each planned algorithm.
