Abstract:Barrier coverage constructs a sensing barrier for detecting intruders crossing a belt region. Recent studies mostly focus on efficient algorithms to guarantee barrier coverage, with little consideration on the collaboration between individual nodes. Observing that in many situations, sensors naturally fall into several clusters (or components), for example when the sensors are deployed uniformly at random with a relatively low density, or when random sensors go down as a result of energy exhaustion, we propose… Show more
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.
