Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is an emerging technology to instrument the environment and collect detailed data for a better understanding and improved models to monitor or control an observed phenomenon. Coverage of the phenomenon area with a given number of WSN nodes is an important topic in deployments, e.g., collecting scientific monitoring data on a glacier [1]. Unreliable communication over the wireless channel complicates communication protocols and results in low data yield [2]. While finding an optimal placement for the deployment of nodes is a crucial task, it is a complex problem due to several independent objectives and constraints for sensing coverage, connectivity and cost. This paper presents novel models for the deployment of a WSN and proposes constraints and objectives to formulate the optimization problem.
