An Efficient Node Deployment Strategy Strategy in Sparse Sensor Networks

In this paper, we propose an efficient node deployment strategy in sparse sensor networks. Our strategy, named DATFM/DF (Data Acquisition and Transmission with Fixed and Mobile node with deliberate Deployment of Fixed nodes), deploys sensor nodes based on the analysis of our previous mobile sensor control method, DATFM. As a result, DATFM/DF improves the efficiencies of sensing and data gathering. Furthermore, we conduct simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of our strategy.
