This document compares different sensor deployment techniques for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and their impact on network lifetime. It implements an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for sensor deployment and compares the results to random deployment and a heuristic technique. Simulation results show that ABC deployment outperforms the other methods, extending network lifetime the most. The network lifetime is maximized when sensors are placed such that targets are covered by many sensors. ABC placement achieves this by iteratively moving sensors to locations with many nearby targets based on a fitness function. The network lifetime is significantly impacted by factors like the number of sensors, sensing range, targets, and area size. ABC deployment performs best across different parameter values tested.
