Abstract
The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a cloud node. The cloud node obtains measurements from at least some of the sensor nodes. The cloud node mathematically determines a minimum number of sensor nodes and their optimal locations. Based on the obtained measurements and the mathematically determined optimal locations, the cloud node graphically determines an optimal location for each of the minimum number of sensor nodes. The cloud node compares the mathematically and the graphically determined optimal locations. When the comparison indicates that the mathematically and graphically determined optimal locations are the same, the cloud node determines a minimum number of fog nodes. Based on the optimal location of sensor nodes, the cloud node determines an optimal location for each of the minimum number of fog nodes.
