Wireless sensor networks are widely
used wireless network technology in many areas. There are different usage areas
such as underground, terrestrial, underwater and industrial sensor networks. One
of the most important problems in wireless sensor networks is that the sensor
nodes are prone to malfunction due to mechanical reasons. Another problem is
that the wireless sensor nodes have limited energy. In this context, sensor
network designs with error sensing mechanisms and energy efficient operations
are of great importance. In addition, the technique of determining the
locations where the sensor nodes are placed is very important in terms of cost.
The locations where the nodes are placed affect the probability that the target
region is within the detection area of a node and its connection with the
base station. In this paper, a different approach is proposed in which a large
number of sensor nodes are placed on a large area. Sensor nodes are placed to
cover the entire region in a specific area in order to detect the parameters
such as temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. The values detected by the
nodes are collected by the base station which is fixed at the center. The
simulation model of the proposed approach was performed by using Riverbed
Modeler software. Thanks to the proposed approach, it is ensured that a certain
region is sensed by the minimum number of wireless sensor nodes.
