Abstract

Sensors can be paired with radio units anddeployed to form a wireless ad-hoc sensornetwork. Actual deployments must consider thecoverage that can be achieved with a givennumber of sensors: this coverage varies with therange of the radios and the maximum allowabledistance between any point in the area and thenearest sensor. Deployments must also preserveconnectivity in spite of possible failure or energydepletion in a subset of the units. This paperpresents and analyzes a variety of regulardeployment topologies, including circular andstar deployments as well as deployments insquare, triangular, and hexagonal grids.
