Fuzzy deployment for wireless sensor networks

In this paper, we are concerned with developing a fuzzy deployment for wireless sensor networks. Traditional deployments often assume a homogeneous environment, which ignores the effect of terrain profile and obstacles such as buildings, trees and so on. Nevertheless, in many applications, some areas need to be more critically monitored. All these factors are combined together through fuzzy logic system in our proposed scheme. Simulation results show that the fuzzy deployment improves the worst-case coverage by around 5 dB
