Sensing Models and Its Impact on Network Coverage in Wireless Sensor Network
Network coverage of wireless sensor network (WSN) means how well an area of
interest is being monitored by the deployed network. It depends mainly on
sensing model of nodes. In this paper, we present three types of sensing models
viz. Boolean sensing model, shadow-fading sensing model and Elfes sensing
model. We investigate the impact of sensing models on network coverage. We also
investigate network coverage based on Poisson node distribution. A comparative
study between regular and random node placement has also been presented in this
paper. This study will be useful for coverage analysis of WSN.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, IEEE Region 10 Colloquium and the Third ICIIS,
