Coverage area management for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Abstract In this work, we present a self‐management service for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that automatically controls the network redundancy. Based on a density control function, this service improves the monitoring potential of the sensor nodes. Our simulation experiments show that this self‐management service provides good and lasting coverage, as desired by WSNs applications. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
