Connectivity analysis for a wireless sensor network based on percolation theory
Xin Gu, Hailin Feng · 2010
Connectivity is a basic problem in the study of a wireless sensor network. Since there exists a larger scale on the deployment of the wireless sensor network nodes, and the node location and the connection between nodes have a certain amount of randomness, the connectivity behavior of wireless sensor networks is described as a percolation phenomenon in this paper. According to percolation theory and computer Simulation, it studies wireless sensor network connectivity issues, which include the connectivity of the largest connected component and the ratio that number of nodes in the infinite connected component share all nodes. It is great significance for developing sensor node power levels and achieving the required network connectivity.
