Deployment of the sensor nodes is a major aspect in the designing of wireless sensor networks. The coverage, connectivity and lifetime o0f a wireless sensor network is directly affected by the quality of the deployment. In this paper, an optimal sensor deployment algorithm (OSDA) has been presented to cover all the targets with the minimum number of sensors. Starting with a randomly chosen location for the first sensor, the locations for deploying the subsequent sensors are chosen on the basis of the number of targets expected to be covered by deploying the sensor at the selected location. The ability of OSDA to minimize the number of sensors required for covering all the targets has been evaluated under various scenarios and compared with that of random deployment.
