A Study of the Coverage of Large-Scale Sensor Networks
Overview This paper studies the coverage properties of large-scale sensor networks. Three coverage measures are defined to characterize the fraction of the area covered by sensors (area coverage), the fraction of sensors that can be removed without reducing the covered area (node coverage), and the capability of the sensor network to detect objects moving in the network (detectability), respectively. The paper approaches the coverage problem from a theoretical perspective and explores the fundamental limits of the coverage of a large-scale sensor network. The paper characterizes the asymptotic behavior of the coverage measures for a variety of sensor network scenarios. The authors find that the coverage of a sensor network exhibits different behaviors for different network configuration and parameters.
