This easy-to-read text focuses on challenges in coverage control in sensor networks, examines fundamental coverage problems, and presents the most recent advances and techniques in the field. Features: provides an introduction to sensors, sensor nodes, sensor networks, and sensor coverage models; supplies an informal definition and taxonomy for network-wide coverage control; explores the node placement optimization problem for coverage configuration before network deployment; investigates the coverage lifetime maximization problem by controlling coverage characteristics in a randomly deployed network; discusses the critical sensor-density problem for coverage configuration before network deployment; examines the sensor-activity scheduling problem of controlling networkcoverage characteristics in a randomly deployed network; introduces the node movement strategy problem for sensor networks containing mobile nodes; presents the challenges of building intrusion barriers and finding penetration paths." This practical, concise, yet comprehensive text is the first to inspect the diverse coverage problems in distributed/wireless sensor networks INDICE: Part I: Introduction.- Introduction.- Sensor Coverage Model.- Network Coverage Control.- Part II Target Coverage Problems.- Node Placement Optimization.- Coverage Lifetime Maximization.- Part III Area Coverage Problems.- Critical Sensor Density.- Sensor Activity Scheduling.- Node Movement Strategy.-Part IV Barrier Coverage Problems.- Build Intrusion Barriers.- Find Penetration Paths.
