Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), an emerging wireless technology, involves deployment of sensing nodes in the surrounding area. A node once deployed in a WSN remains unattended and it therefore becomes critical to design a proper node deployment strategy. A proper node deployment fulfills properties like coverage, connectivity and lifetime. Such WSN deployment strategy meets two objectives: One, it simplifies the complexity in routing, data fusion, communication, etc. Two, it reduces energy consumption and hence extends the lifetime of WSNs. In this paper, we propose a grid based static node deployment strategy for WSN systems that meets these objectives.
