Energy and coverage efficiency using straight line node deployment with data compression in Wireless sensor network
Linoy A Tharakan, R. Dhanasekaran · 2016
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) used to watch changes in an environment of a given field. Coverage, communication and connectivity of the network are the most fundamental challenges in WSN. Sensor nodes are mostly battery operated and expected to work for a longer time without replacing the batteries. The measure of the efficiency of a network usually defined about how efficient in sensing the given physical ambience. Energy efficient coverage of sensor nodes in Wireless sensor network is essential and has lots of scopes in the area for research. Connectivity can defined the ability of the sensor to reach the data sink. Finding a best node deployment policy that offers high degree of coverage with network connectivity is quite demanding. In this paper we are discussing about energy-efficient coverage with an innovative node topology.
