Ad-hoc wireless network with a huge amount of static or mobile sensors is called wireless sensor network (WSN). The sensors collaborate to sense, collect and process the raw information of the phenomenon in sensing area (in-network), and transmit the processed information to the observers. Robustness, fault tolerance, and furthermore are prime factors to be consider before designing wireless sensor network. It is theoretically proved through math modeling, theoretical analysis and formula deducting that sensor deployments in the form of equilateral triangle, as a rule, are better than those in the form of square, hexagon and octagon. The theoretical analysis formula has given that minimum number of sensor nodes is demanded in a given sensor field if the field is covered fully and seamlessly and efficient coverage area ratio decrease with increase of sensor nodes comparing to same grid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
