Implementation for Network Sensor Deployment in Coverage Area Using Clustering Technique

Swati Singh ^[4] | Puneet Sandhu ^[3]

Abstract: A number of sensor nodes together form a Wireless Sensor Network. WSNs are used for a number of applications like monitoring of human body; under water surveillance; military purposes and traffic control etc. The consumption of the wireless sensor network (WSN) is increasing day by day as sensor nodes are becoming cheaper. Inefficient or manual placement of sensor nodes leads to the failure of sensor networks. WSN are special kinds of Ad hoc networks that became one of the most interesting areas for researchers to study. The most important property that affects these types of network is the limitation of the available resources; especially the energy. In this work the nodes are placed at a pre-determined optimized location; through which sensing range can be minimized. Sensing range minimization will lead to increased lifetime because of the less energy consumed during monitoring of targets.
