The increasingly wide utilization of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in industrial
applications outstands the significance of the Delay Constrained Relay Node Placement …

In a wireless sensor network, short range multihop transmissions are preferred to prolong
the network lifetime due to super-linear nature of energy consumption with communication …

We consider in this letter the problem of constrained relay node (RN) placement where
sensor nodes must be connected to base stations by using a minimum number of RNs. The …

Wireless sensor networks are formed with very small sensor devices with limited energy and
short transmission range. Sensors are randomly deployed in remote areas with harsh …

In this paper, a 2-D geometric and adaptive relay node deployment method with polynomial-
time complexity is proposed to reduce relay nodes for bridging all disconnected node pairs …

Federating disjoint segments may be necessary in some applications of wireless sensor
networks (WSNs). The segments can be simply distinct WSNs that operate autonomously or …
