Linear order sensor network deployment for coverage analysis based on TBM theory

Efficient sensor deployment scheme for target detection is one of the fundamental issues in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we have proposed a deployment algorithm named linear order deployment algorithm (LODA). LODA uses transferable belief model (TBM) for target detection. This technique improves the overall performance in comparison to probability theory. The simulation results show that LODA improves the sensing coverage with limited number of sensors than the random deployment method.
