An Algorithm of three-Dimensional Sensor Network Deployment for Petroleum and Gas Pipeline Monitoring Systems
Huaping Yu, Mei Guo · 2012
Pipeline systems are widely used for transportation of petroleum and natural gas.It is clear that a continuous and automatic monitoring system is very necessary for petroleum and gas pipeline system.This paper describes an algorithm of 3D sensor node deployment based on petroleum and gas pipeline architecture and three-tiered network architecture, which was described with the C language pseudo-code.The network coverage performance and connection performance for petroleum and gas pipeline system were discussed and we give the evaluation methods of 3D sensor node deployment algorithm.
