摘要：Researchers are actively investigating wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with respect to nodedesign, architecture, networking protocols, and processing algorithms. However, fewresearchers consider the impact of deployments on the performance of a system. As a result, anappropriate deployment simulator that estimates the performance of WSNs concerning severaldeployment variables is needed. This paper presents a holistic deployment framework thatassists decision makers in making optimum WSN deployment choices by considering the terrainof their region of interest and type of deployment. This framework employs empiricalpropagation models to predict the performance of the deployment in terms of connectivity,coverage, lifetime, and throughput for stochastic and deterministic deployments in dense tree,tall grass, and short grass environments. The outlined framework can serve as a usefulprototype for creating deployment simulators that optimize WSN deployments by consideringterrain factors and type of deployment.
