Employing an Energy-efficient Pattern for Coverage Problem in WSNs

무선센서네크워크에서 커버리지 문제를 해결하기 위한 에너지효율적인 패턴

In wireless sensor networks, coverage problem is a fundamental issue that has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Most node scheduling patterns utilize the adjustable range of sensor to minimize the sensing energy consumption. However, a large source of consumption of communication energy of sensor is not strictly taken into account. In this paper, we introduce an energy-efficient pattern that is used to minimize the communication energy consumption of a sensor network. Calculations and extensive simulation are conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the new pattern comparing to existing ones.
