A simple coverage-evaluating approach for wireless sensor networks with arbitrary sensing areas

We present a simple and fast deterministic solution to the area coverage problem in wireless sensor networks. The task is to determine whether all points in a region are covered by a given set of sensors, where each sensor may have any arbitrary sensing shape. We transform the area coverage problem to the intersection points' coverage problem, which is simpler and more suitable for evaluating the area coverage problem than previous approaches in our view.
