Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the interesting issues in the information technology domain. It is used in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, meteorology, etc. that eases lots of difficult tasks to do but have some challenges too. Deployment is the greatest challenge in WSN that affects other features like coverage, connectivity, energy efficient and lifetime. Despite the importance of the deployment problem in WSN, to the best of our knowledge, there isn’t any systematic literature review to give us systematical analyses the state-of-the mechanisms in this field. Therefore, this study reviewed the deployment mechanisms which have been used in WSN systematically. The deployment mechanisms can be classified into two main categories: deterministic and nondeterministic. Also, this study represents a comparison of the important techniques of the selected articles in each category to offer a guideline for further studies and new challenges. We also have noted some open issues for future research.
