Model and Algorithms for the Density, Coverage and Connectivity Control Problem in Flat WSNs

چکیده
In the last decade, several technological advances in embedded systems and wireless communication allowed the arising of a new kind of ad-hoc network, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). A WSN is a special kind of mobile network composed by hundreds or even thousands of autonomous and compact devices, called sensor nodes, which can perform sensing, processing and wireless communication tasks. In a WSN application, the source nodes collect data from a phenomenon and disseminate them towards the sink node, using multi-hop communication.

Representing a Model for Improving Connectivity and Power Dissipation in Wireless Networks Using Mobile Sensors
Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...

متن کاملA survey on coverage and connectivity issues in wireless sensor networks
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is composed of a group of small power-constrained nodes with functions of sensing and communication, which can be scattered over a vast region for the purpose of detecting or monitoring some special events. The first challenge encountered in WSNs is how to cover a monitoring region perfectly. Coverage and connectivity are two of the most fundamental issues in WSN...
