Deployment density estimation for α-Covering problem in wireless sensor network

Promising a suitable coverage is one of the problems in Wireless Sensor Network where a random deployment make it very difficult to measure. In this paper, a novel equation base on Gaussian distribution is proposed to estimate the deployment density. This function uses the α-Covering value and coverage percentage as inputs. Simulation results show high correlation between proposed equation and simulation data. Moreover, the average of the error in different scenarios is 0.38%.
