Dynamic coverage by homogeneous mobile sensor nodes using tri-hexagonal scheme

Abstract

Mobile sensor nodes (MSNs) are energy constrained, recharge, and replacement of battery is not possible after deployment. They spend more energy during their traversal and can be conserved by minimizing the traversal. High degree of coverage is preferred in many applications. Energy conservation is one of the most demanded researches. MSNs with variable sensing range are best suitable in search-related operations. Degree of coverage can be increased whenever the situation demands. � 2014 Springer India.
