In this paper, we propose an intelligent deployment of sensor network for reliable communication. The proposed method determines optimal transmission range based on the wireless channel characteristics, and searches the optimal number of sensor nodes, and optimal locations with SOFM. We calculate PRR against a distance uses the log-normal path loss model, and decide the communication range of sensor node from PRR. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed simulations on the searching for intelligent deployment and checking for link condition of sensor network.
