Title
A Low-Complex Coverage Eligibility Algorithm For Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
Maximizing the coverage area while maintaining a lower cost of deployment has always been a challenge, especially when the monitoring region is unknown and possibly hazardous. Many coverage-preserving algorithms have been proposed for maintaining k-coverage. The k-coverage configuration is extensively exploited to ensure that each location is covered by at least k active sensor nodes. However, most of these algorithms incur: i) Redundant sensor occurrence. ii) Considerably high computation cost. In this paper, we propose a Low-Complex Coverage Eligibility Algorithm(LCE), an efficient and accurate k-coverage eligibility algorithm that settles all of the above critical problems and prove that a monitored area is k-covered with very low cost. LCE proves that whether a sensor is eligible to sleep (redundant) or stay active can be accurately determined by simply checking if its neighbours belong to a well known set of points within its sensing range (Eligibility Area). LCE has a computational complexity of O(N), where N is the number of neighbouring nodes, lower than the complexity of many other eligibility algorithms ([7](O(N2log(N))), [9](2O(N2log(N)), [5](O(N3))). Simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis.
