Monitoring distributed properties in networks of tiny wireless devices

This article studies clustered wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a realistic topology resulting from common deployment methods. We study coverage in naturally clustered networks of wireless sensor nodes, as opposed to WSNs where clustering is facilitated ...

Efficient network coverage and connectivity are the requisites for most Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deployments, particularly those concerned with area monitoring. Due to the resource constraints of the sensor nodes, redundancy of coverage area must ...

One of important issues in wireless sensor networks is how to effectively use the limited node energy to prolong the lifetime of the networks. Clustering is a promising approach in wireless sensor networks, which can increase the network lifetime and ...
