Title
Small-world effects in wireless agent sensor networks
Abstract
We describe a model for analysing the coverage graph from physical placement of mobile agents or sensor devices to improve coverage, fault tolerance and network lifetime. The planar graph for the devices is augmented by small-world network 'short-cuts'; the network then has properties intermediate between those of a fixed regular mesh and a random graph. Results from computational physics involving percolation and scaling phenomena help interpret network behaviours. Individual mobile sensors are modelled as points in Euclidean space with a circular region of influence and awareness; clustering algorithms are used to construct connectivity graphs which are analysed using conventional methods.
