Different Node Deployments in a Square Area Grid of Wireless Sensor Network and Optimal Number of Relays

Wireless sensor networks deployment is an important issue to be considered when trying to cover anarea with sensors, our work focuses on the deployment of a grid network for larger number of sensornodes from 36 nodes up to 100 nodes. We study different cases of distances between source andestination, the result showed the diagonal path is the best path where least energy consumption areconsumed. The diagonal path use number of intermediate nodes (relays) along it. Our result show thebest number of relay nodes and different distances between source node and destination nodeaccording to some threshold distances.
