IoT Device Deployment for Optimal Wastewater Network Coverage

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are fundamental to the ever-evolving technologies associated with the broader Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we consider the problem of coverage and cost function minimization in a sewer network. The problem of sensor coverage in a sewer network is presented as a mixed-integer programming problem. This approach guarantees that we obtain the optimal solution to the problem under consideration. To solve this problem we used a CPLEX solver. The study is performed for a practically relevant network within selected scenarios determined by realistic data sets.
