WSNs (wireless sensor networks) are networks that hundreds or thousands of nodes poured in a field and nodes try to send sensed event to base station (BS). In many cases, the BS isn't in the field and is so far away from nodes. Energy efficiency is one of the major concerns in wireless sensor networks since it impacts the network lifetime. So instead of transmitting directly to BS, in hierarchical...
In this paper, we propose two schemes for sensor and relay node placement in environmental sensing applications. The first scheme aims at maximizing the network lifetime by reducing the total energy consumption. The second does so while maintaining fault-tolerance constraints. It guarantees a lower bound on the minimum required number of faulty nodes. Both schemes are based on a 3-D hierarchical architecture,...
