Abstract

Assume sensor deployment follows the Poisson distribution. For a given partial connectivity requirement ρ, 0.5 0, around which the probability that at least 100ρ% of sensors are connected in the network increases sharply from Ɛ to 1- Ɛ within a short interval of sensor density λ. The location of λ0 is at the sensor density where the above probability is about 1/2. We also extend the results to the disk model. Simulations are conducted to confirm the theoretical results.
