Abstract (EN): The use of sensing technologies in industrial environments has opened many possibilities for monitoring and control applications, driving much research efforts in the last years. Among the challenging issues related to industrial wireless sensor networks, efficient nodes deployment is a major concern since it can directly impact the way sensors operate, which has demanded proper solutions. When sensing units and transceiver hardware are not located in the same board, as it can happen in industrial environments, optimal deployment algorithms have to deal with additional parameters, such as the size of the cable connecting those elements and ideal positioning for both sensing and communication. In such way, this paper tackles the problem of node deployment in industrial wireless sensor networks, discussing practical scenarios and challenging issues. Moreover, a low complexity example is given in order to illustrate the different elements required.
