Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been studied intensively for various applications such as monitoring and surveillance. Sensor deployment is an essential part of WSN, because it affects both the cost and capability of the sensor network. However, most deployment schemes proposed so far have been based on over-simplified assumptions, where results may be far from optimal in practice. Our prop...

This paper proposes a programmable routing framework that promotes the adaptivity in routing services for sensor networks. This framework includes a universal routing service and an automatic deployment service. The universal routing service allows the introduction of different services through its tunable parameters and programmable components. The deployment service completes the configuratio...

A wireless sensor network is an autonomous system of sensor connected by wireless devices without any fixed infrastructure support. One of the major issues in wireless sensor network is developing a cost effective routing protocol which has a significant impact on the overall network performance in the sensor network. In this paper, we have considered three types of nodes with different battery...

Underwater sensor networks find applications in oceanographic data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster prevention, assisted navigation, and tactical surveillance. In this paper, deployment strategies for two-dimensional and three-dimensional communication architectures for underwater acoustic sensor networks are proposed, and a mathematical deployment analysis for b...

The performance of wireless sensor networks depends largely on the deployment of sensor nodes as well as their lifetime mainly determined by the energy consumption. Most current attention, however, has been paid to energyefficient deployment. With the goal of facilitating further evolution of wireless sensor networks, recently proposed deployment schemes for wireless sensor networks are surveye...
