Cover Story: Three-dimensional wireless sensor networks (3D WSNs) are transforming environmental monitoring, smart agriculture, and urban management by enabling sensing in complex spatial domains. However, deploying nodes in 3D environments introduces challenges in coverage, connectivity, and map construction. This paper provides a structured survey of node deployment strategies, analyzing six algorithmic categories, ranging from classical geometric methods to swarm intelligence and approximation algorithms. It highlights key design considerations, compares algorithmic performances, and presents a case study on solar insecticidal lamp deployment, bridging theoretical models with practical 3D applications. View this paper
