Measuring and guaranteeing quality of barrier coverage for general belts with wireless sensors

Abstract

Sensors may fail due to various reasons such as heat, malicious activity, environmental hazards, extended use, and lack of power. As more and more sensors fail, certain desired properties such as barrier coverage will diminish and eventually fall below a desired level. In such a case, the network will have to be repaired. It is therefore desirable to have mechanisms to monitor network properties. In this article, we are interested in measuring the quality of barrier coverage, which is known to be an appropriate model of coverage for movement detection applications such as intrusion detection.
