Data fusion based coverage optimization in heterogeneous sensor networks: A survey

Spatiotemporal Coverage in Fusion-based Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been increasingly available for critical applications such as security surveillance and environmental monitoring. As a fundamental performance measure of WSNs, coverage characterizes how well a sensing field is monitored by a network. Two facets of coverage, i.e., spatial coverage and temporal coverage, quantify the percentage of area that is well monitored ...

Maintaining Differentiated Coverage in Heterogeneous Sensor Networks

Most existing research considers homogeneous sensor networks, which suffer from performance bottleneck and poor scalability. In this paper, we adopt a heterogeneous sensor network model to overcome these problems. Sensing coverage is a fundamental problem in sensor networks and has been well studied over the past years. However, most coverage algorithms only consider the uniform coverage proble...
