A method for node placement planning, comprising: identifying a number of structural rules based on identifying structural information of an area from a map of the area, wherein said structural information of the area includes at least one structural element of the area , and the physical placement of said at least one structural element of the area, wherein the at least one structural element includes at least one of an object or material; determining a placement for each node of a number of nodes of a node network on the map of the area utilizing a node placement model, wherein the node placement model includes a digital representation of a function that is utilized to define a layout of the number of nodes of the node network; providing the number of structural rules and said identified structural information into the node placement model; identifying a placement of a node among the number of nodes that deviates from a structural rule among the number of structural rules, wherein deviating from a structural rule includes the placement of the node that overlaps with the structural element such that the node cannot be physically placed on for installation; revising the placement of the node among the number of nodes that deviates from the structural rule among the number of structural rules and in response to said revised placement, utilizing the node placement model to verify that the revised placement complies with the number of structural rules; and physically installing the number of nodes in the area based on the map of the area said map of the area including the revised placement of the node deviating from the structural rule. identifying a number of structural rules based on identifying structural information of an area from a map of the area, wherein said structural information of the area includes at least one structural element of the area , and the physical placement of said at least one structural element of the area, wherein the at least one structural element includes at least one of an object or material; determining a placement for each node of a number of nodes of a node network on the map of the area utilizing a node placement model, wherein the node placement model includes a digital representation of a function that is utilized to define a layout of the number of nodes of the node network; providing the number of structural rules and said identified structural information into the node placement model; identifying a placement of a node among the number of nodes that deviates from a structural rule among the number of structural rules, wherein deviating from a structural rule includes the placement of the node that overlaps with the structural element such that the node cannot be physically placed on for installation; revising the placement of the node among the number of nodes that deviates from the structural rule among the number of structural rules and in response to said revised placement, utilizing the node placement model to verify that the revised placement complies with the number of structural rules; and physically installing the number of nodes in the area based on the map of the area said map of the area including the revised placement of the node deviating from the structural rule. <EOS>
