HexTileConnect:2D WSNs

• Key aspects: Centralized k-coverage protocols, Irregular hexagonal tessellation, Python

My research project tackled the issue of k-coverage in Planar Wireless Sensor Networks (PWSNs) using irregular hexagonal tessellation methods. We recommended centralized k-coverage protocols, including k-llgm, based on theoretical evidence. In our investigation of the Connected Coverage k-Protection (CCkP) problem in Planar WSNs, we utilized irregular hexagonal tessellation and parallelogram regions within it to optimize sensor deployment for Field of Interest (FoI) coverage.

Furthermore, we addressed network connectivity by establishing a relationship between sensor sensing and communication ranges, ensuring CCk of the FoI throughout the network's operational lifetime.

We proposed the centralized k-coverage protocol, k-llgm, based on the theoretical outcomes and properties discovered during our research.
