Abstract

In recent years, a wireless sensor network is gaining much more importance due to its immense contribution in numerous applications. Deployment of sensor nodes that would reduce computation, minimize cost and gaining high degree of network connectivity is an challenging task. Random deployment of sensor nodes causes the wireless sensor networks to face topological weaknesses such as communication bottlenecks, network partitions and sensing holes. These problems lead to uneven energy utilization, reduction in reliability of network and reduction in network lifetime. Bottleneck detection algorithm is proposed to identify bottleneck and minimal bottleneck zones in network. Additional sensor node deployment strategy is used in bottleneck detection algorithm to extend network lifetime. Random additional sensor node deployment and Targeted additional sensor node deployment are proposed to enhance network lifetime. Deployment strategies are compared with respect to network parameters such as throughput, packet delivery fraction and network lifetime.
