چکیده

In sensor networks, sensing coverage is an important issue. For target tracking and event monitoring applications, complete coverage is commonly used as one measure of coverage. However, when sensors are randomly distributed in the area of interest, complete coverage is too sensitive to ∧ the locations of the sensors. In this paper, point coverage is considered as an alternative measure of coverage. The probability of point coverage is derived. ∧ A comparison between complete coverage and point coverage is made by analysis and simulation as well. Such comparison can help network designers to make better decisions. © 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd

Design and evaluation of two distributed methods for sensors placement in Wireless Sensor Networks

Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

Unauthenticated event detection in wireless sensor networks using sensors co-coverage

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer inherent packet redundancy since each point within the network area is covered by more than one sensor node. This phenomenon, which is known as sensors co-coverage, is used in this paper to detect unauthenticated events. Unauthenticated event broadcasting in a WSN imposes network congestion, worsens the packet loss rate, and increases the network energy con...
