Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of how to place redundant sensor nodes in an arbitrary sensor network to establish multi-connectivity. Specifically, after exploring the existing general k-connectivity algorithm, this paper proves that its approximation ratio is upper-bounded by only O(k3α), asymptotically one order of k lower than that presented before. Since establishing k-connectivity is not cost-efficient for many applications, this paper further relaxes k-connectivity to partial k-connectivity and upper-bounds the approximation ratio of partial k-connectivity with O(k4α).
