Abstract
The cost of algorithm for finding the deployment positions of static sensors in a given terrain is one of the most important issues for sensor deployment. In this paper a new scheme of deployment is proposed considering a regular rectangular terrain. In the proposed algorithm the entire coverage of the terrain is provided by interconnecting a number of predefined WSNs. Each WSN in a normal configuration consists of five sensors as deployable unit, unlike other sensor deployment algorithms, where each sensor is considered as a deployable unit. The efficiency of the algorithm is guaranteed by making deployment decision for a group of sensors together, rather than making decision for each sensor node. A group of sensor nodes already form a WSN, where the sensor at the centre acts as a server-node and the remaining four as client-nodes. The client-nodes are responsible for sensing coverage and any object sensed within the WSN will be reported to the server-node; whereas the server-node is mainly responsible for communicating with the neighboring WSNs. Hence the challenge of the algorithm is to organize the WSNs in a particular order so that interconnection between the WNSs can be established for effective sensing coverage in the given terrain.
