Abstract

In this paper, we study the sensor deployment pattern problem in cyber physical systems. When designing the sensor deployment pattern, the network lifetime maximization while covering the given area/targets and forwarding sensor data to a sink node is an important issue. In order to prolong the network lifetime by balancing energy depletion across all sensors, we propose a novel nonuniform sensor distribution strategy. Since sensors located closer to the sink are more involved in data forwarding, sensor densities in different areas should be varied according to the distance to the sink. Based on the nonuniform sensor distribution, we propose sensor deployment patterns to satisfy the coverage and connectivity requirements and prolong the network lifetime. A numerical computation is performed to validate and compare the effectiveness of the proposed deployment patterns.
