<p>Wireless sensor networks are an enthralling field of study with numerous applications. A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is used to monitor real-time scenarios such as weather, temperature, humidity, and military surveillance. A WSN is composed of several sensor nodes that are responsible for sensing, aggregating, and transmitting data in the system, in which it has been deployed. These sensors are powered by small batteries because they are small. Managing power consumption and extending network life is a common challenge in WSNs. Data transmission is a critical process in a WSN that consumes the majority of the network’s resources. Since the cluster heads in the network are in charge of data transmission, they require more energy. We need to know where these CHs are deployed in order to calculate how much energy they use. The deployment of a WSN can be either static or random. Although most researchers focus on random deployment, this paper applies the proposed Deterministic Centroid algorithm for static deployment. Based on the coverage of the deployment area, this algorithm places the sensors in a predetermined location.
