Linear and Non-Linear Barrier Coverage in Deterministic and Uncertain environment in WSNs: A New Classification

Abstract

This paper Various studies cited in the literature deal with the classic problem of obstacle coverage, where the deployment environment, sensor nodes, and base stations have characteristics that are considered perfect but suffer from various flaws in the real world. This paper presents other barrier coverage types ranked in a new classification based on linear and nonlinear barrier coverage according to deterministic and insecure environments, and enumerates some of the different current and future challenges of these coverage types and connectivity in WSNs.
