Efficient band monitoring with sensors outer positioning

Abstract

The article considers models for monitoring a band with a preset width using sensor networks shaped as disc covers. Every cover disc is a centred sensor operation area. The researchers determine a min-density band cover with the discs of one, two and three radii. The specific requirement for the cover is that the disc centres shall not be inside the band (external monitoring). Various efficient cover models are proposed and their characteristics are determined.
