The Impact of Environment on the Node Coverage Modeling in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract:

The coverage and localization are two key issues in wireless sensor network (WSN), and they are related with the sensing model of sensors. That is, the different sensing models will lead to the different coverage patterns and localization schemes. However, the environment has a significant influence on the sensing model of sensors in some applications. Thus, this paper will study this impact and propose a sensing model, according to which, the coverage and localization will be re-studied. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the validity of this impact, the feasibility of the sensing model, and the superiority of coverage and localization.
