Circular Based Node Placement in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the promising technologies in today’s world. Applications can be from home, science, industry, medical and so on. In every field it is proving to be one of the best methods adopted like for example patient monitoring from home to hospitals using sensors and internet at a low cost is possible. In this paper study on node placement is considered as most of the sensor network has random based deployment of nodes during simulation. Random node placements have densely placed nodes in a certain area and sometimes only few nodes are deployed in a same area. This is purely because of random distribution of nodes and thus has impact on overall performance of WSN. Proposed method considers circular based deployment for routing in WSN with its own algorithm. Circular based node deployment is a combination of random and grid based approach and proves to be effective way of routing packets to destination. Simulation results show that performance of network in terms of computation is better than the existing methods.
