摘要:Coverage is a key and fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks. To provide high quality of service, high coverage ratio of sensor nodes in monitored area should be assured. Coverage holes may lead to routing failure and degrade the quality of service. A novel coverage hole discovery algorithm, VCHDA, is proposed for wireless sensor networks in this paper. The proposed algorithm is based on the well-known Voronoi diagram. It can recognize coverage holes and label the border nodes of coverage holes effectively. Simulations are conducted and the results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and with high accuracy.
