Coverage Ratio in the Wireless Sensor Networks Using Monte Carlo Simulation

The coverage is the one of important issues in the wireless sensor networks. The coverage ratio means that the ratio of whole area to covered area by sensor. Many researchers study about the coverage in the wireless sensor networks. The Monte Carlo method is very simple and flexible approach for approximation of solutions in physical science and engineering. In this paper, we propose the coverage calculation method using Monte Carlo simulation in wireless sensor networks. As a result, we estimate the number of samples. And we test and analyze the calculation method.
