Book Description
Wireless sensor networks have a range of applications,including military uses and in environmental monitoring. When an area of interest is inaccessible by: conventional means,such a network can be deployed in ways resulting in a random distribution of the sensors. Randomly Deployed Wireless Sensor Networks offers a probabilistic method to model and analyze these networks. The book considers the network design,coverage,target detection,localization and tracking of sensors in randomly deployed wireless networks,and proposes a stochastic model. It quantifies the relationship between parameters of the network and its performance,and puts forward a communication protocol. The title provides analyses and formulas,giving engineering insight into randomly deployed wireless sensor networks. Five chapters consider the analysis of coverage performance; working modes and scheduling mechanisms; the relationship between sensor behavior and network performance properties; probabilistic forwarding routing protocols; localization methods for multiple targets and target number estimation; and experiments on target localization and tracking with a Mica sensor system.
