Deployment Challenges in Electromagnetic Wireless Nanosensor Networks.

Abstract

Wireless nanosensor networks (WNSNs) are a future technology that will help transform many ideas into reality. Therefore, WNSNs must be properly set up to achieve their intended application goals during the deployment stage. An effective deployment protocol should ensure full coverage of the target area, continuous connectivity between nanosensors, and efficient energy consumption. Since nanosensors are known to have limited energy and computational power, deployment strategies for WNSNs must account for their constrained capabilities and unique properties. In this paper, we review some of existing research on the deployment of WNSNs. Furthermore, we discuss different models that can influence the design of effective deployment strategies for WNSNs.
