At present, the deployment of nodes in wireless sensor network mainly adopts the algorithm based on Voronoi diagram. In the process of deployment using Voronoi algorithm, due to the large number of nodes involved in the deployment and the high complexity of the algorithm, the iteration time of the algorithm is long. In order to solve the problem of long iteration time in node deployment, a Deployment Algorithm based on Basic Architecture (DABA) was proposed. Firstly the nodes were combined into basic architectures, then center position coordinates of the basic architecture were calculated, finally the node deployment was performed by using Voronoi diagram. The algorithm was still able to realize the deployment effectively under the condition that there were obstacles in the deployment area. The experimental results show that DABA can reduce the deployment time by two thirds compared with the Voronoi algorithm. The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the iteration time and the complexity of the algorithm.
