A Survey on Deployment of Wireless Sensor Network

Not only has the wireless sensor network been a rapidly growing research and commercial development, but it has also been widely used in a variety of realms. Among all the challenging issues of WSNs, the deployment of nodes stands out as an important role for it has a critical influence on area or target coverage, network connectivity, network lifetime, etc. This paper explores classifications of node and deployment strategies from different angles, analyzing its impacts on the performance of a WSN.
