Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have drawn its enormous attraction in both academic and industry for its exceptional monitoring capabilities. However, due to its shortcomings like reliability, energy cost, limited sensing and communication range, etc., degrades its performance in real world applications. Therefore, in order to overcome these shortfall, relay node (RN) deployment/placement could aid to improve the performance of the WSNs. In this chapter, various algorithms and techniques are presented that aim to address the relay node placement/deployment problem.
