Abstract

The problem of placing relay nodes in a wireless sensor network is studied in the context of balanced data gathering. Previous work is extended by showing that even the simplest classes of the relay placement problem are hard to approximate. This work also presents a heuristic method for both lower-bounding and upper-bounding the maximum performance of a sensor network over all possible relay locations.
