Noticeable key points and issues of sensor deployment for large area Wireless Sensor Network: A survey

Abstract

Monitoring of sensitive areas with sensors deployment in large area network is the objective of many research groups now days. There are many applications such as health monitoring, environmental monitoring, agriculture, industrial use, wildlife protection etc, that requires wireless sensor network for continuous monitoring. Various research groups are working on real time implementation of WSN instead of simulation. Real time implementation of WSN faces various issues, and results are also not as good as simulated results. This paper is focused on highlighting the issues in deployment of sensors for real time event monitoring system. It is based on the observation of sensor deployment in the forest (Panna Tiger Reserve, Panna, M.P, India) for the project “Forest and Wild life protection using Large area Wireless Sensor Network” at Indian Institute of Information Technology-Allahabad, India. This paper also covers those issues which are faced at the deployment of both levels of individual sensor node as well as group of sensor nodes.
