Abstract:
Since the placement of sensor nodes has a direct effect on its performance, this paper explores three predefined configurations in order to compare their power consumption performance. The experiments assume an obstacle free, rectangular field, with a cluster-based routing protocol and the event location in the field. The results demonstrated the different significant behaviors of the placement strategies in a cluster-based scenario.
