In the process of the wireless sensor network research, the issue on the energy consumption and coverage is an essential and critical one. According to the characteristic of the sensor nodes, it is homogeneous, and we proposed the kdegree coverage algorithm based on optimization nodes deployment. First, the algorithm gives the solving procedure of the maximum seamless coverage ratio, when the three-node joint coverage has been provided. Second, when the sensor nodes are covering the monitoring area, the algorithm gives the solving procedure of the expected coverage quality and the judgment methods of the coverage ratio, when the nodes are compared with the nearby ones. And when there is redundancy coverage in the given monitoring area, we have given the solving procedure of any sensor nodes that exist in the redundant nodes coverage. Finally, using the simulation experiment, the results of the coverage algorithm based on optimization nodes deployment are compared with other algorithms in terms of the coverage quality and the network lifetime, the performance indexes have enhanced to 13.36% and 12.92% on average. Thus, the effectiveness and viability of the coverage algorithm based on optimization nodes deployment have been proved.
In the k-coverage process of target nodes, substantial data redundancy occurs, which leads to the phenomenon of congestion, reducing the network communication capability and coverage as well as accelerating network energy consumption. Therefore, this article proposes an Optimization Coverage Conserving Protocol with Authentication. This protocol provides a solution to obtain the largest coverage probability for multi-nodes. In the optimization and authenticated calculation, the protocol provides the calculation method and verification process of the expected value of multinode coverage; when the moving target nodes are continuously covered, this protocol provides a process to solve for the focused target nodes; when there is redundancy coverage, this article provides a process to calculate the coverage probability when any sensor node is covered by a redundant node. Furthermore, through comparisons of the coverage quality and network lifetime with other algorithms, the performance indexes of this protocol have been substantially increased by the simulation experiment, which verified the effectiveness and viability of the protocol in this article.
