Analysis of Network Reliability and Lifetime on Strip Area in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

One application of Wireless sensor network (WSN) is to be deployed in a strip area, such as coal mines, bridges, tunnels, canyons and so on. Due to the strip network topology, reliability and lifetime analyze are different from the previous research. In this paper, we consider reliability and lifetime problems for deploying WSN with b nodes for strip area. The reliability is maximal if we uniformly distribute nodes in each location of narrow trip area. Next, we analyze the lifetime with different deployment patterns. The simulation shows the reliability analysis and lifetime analysis.
