Abstract
Due to widespread applications and an orientation towards dimensionality enhancement, the underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) are going to be in demand for today's researchers. The core idea to design a strong and reliable build under the water revolves around the master plan of sensor deployment. The quality parameters like coverage, connectivity, and network lifespan, etc. are considered as main pillars for these deployment plans. There is always a trade-off between these quality parameters. So, it is quite necessary to maintain a balance among these parameters in order to establish a successful communication system. In this chapter, the authors have categorized the node deployment plans on the basis of the above-stated quality parameters. During this categorization, the view of dimensionality enhancement from two dimensions to three dimensions is also kept in the mind.
