Abstract

Low-connectivity and full-coverage three dimensional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have many real-world applications. By low connectivity, we mean there are at least k disjoint paths between any two sensor nodes in a WSN, where k ≤ 4. In this paper, we design a set of patterns for these networks. In particular, we design and prove the optimality of 1- and 2-connectivity patterns under any value of the ratio of communication range rc over sensing range rs, among regular lattice deployment patterns. We further propose a set of patterns to achieve 3- and 4-connectivity patterns and investigate the evolutions among all the proposed low-connectivity patterns. Finally, we study the proposed patterns under several practical settings.
