Abstract
In wireless sensor networks, sensor coverage and network connectivity problems are caused by the restricted sensing and communication range of the nodes. To solve these problems, many studies have been undertaken but most of this work is too limited to be applied to real environments because they do not consider various environmental factors that affect wireless sensor network deployment. In this paper, we propose a node deployment strategy that considers environmental factors and the number of nodes for surveillance and reconnaissance sensor networks (SRSNs). Our strategy consists of four steps for the installation of a surveillance and reconnaissance sensor network: the analysis of environmental factors, sensor node deployment, selection of monitoring sites and relay node deployment. It deploys the sensor nodes, and relay nodes while considering features of the surveillance and reconnaissance sensor networks as well as environmental factors. Simulation results show that our strategy improves sensor coverage and network connectivity.

This paper aims to develop a method to determine the location of sensor nodes to maximize sensor coverage while satisfying a given constraint condition
Summary
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been used in various applications, such as forest monitoring, disaster management, space exploration, factory automation, secure installation, border protection and battlefield surveillance [1]. Most sensor nodes and relay nodes have certain constraints such as restricted sensing and communication range as well as limited battery life. These limitations cause some technical issues in terms of coverage, network connectivity, network lifetime, scheduling, and data aggregation [2]. Environmental factors affecting the deployment of the sensor network They are too limited when applied to real environments. We propose a node deployment strategy that considers environmental factors and the number of nodes for surveillance and reconnaissance sensor networks (SRSNs).
