During the decision phase, in each square, one sensor is chosen to remain on during the sensing phase time. +Based on the results, conducted in the previous subsections, \ref{ch4:sec:04:02} and \ref{ch4:sec:04:03}, DiLCO-16 protocol and DiLCO-32 protocol with Model-9 seems to be the best candidates to be compared with other two approaches. The first approach is called DESK~\cite{DESK}, which is a fully distributed coverage algorithm. The second approach called GAF~\cite{GAF}, consists in dividing the region into fixed squares. During the decision phase, in each square, one sensor is chosen to remain on during the sensing phase time. \begin{enumerate}[i)] \item {{\bf Coverage Ratio}} %\subsubsection{Coverage Ratio} -In this experiment, the average coverage ratio for 150 deployed nodes has been demonstrated figure~\ref{Figures/ch4/R3/CR}. +The average coverage ratio for 150 deployed nodes is demonstrated in Figure~\ref{Figures/ch4/R3/CR}. \parskip 0pt \begin{figure}[h!] diff --git a/CHAPITRE_05.tex b/CHAPITRE_05.tex index 91014fb..714ecd7 100644 --- a/CHAPITRE_05.tex +++ b/CHAPITRE_05.tex @@ -90,7 +90,7 @@ The energy consumption and some other constraints can easily be taken into \BlankLine %\emph{Initialize the sensor node and determine it's position and subregion} \; - \If{ $RE_j \geq E_{R}$ }{ + \If{ $RE_j \geq E_{th}$ }{ \emph{$s_j.status$ = COMMUNICATION}\; \emph{Send $INFO()$ packet to other nodes in the subregion}\; \emph{Wait $INFO()$ packet from other nodes in the subregion}\; @@ -199,7 +199,7 @@ Subject to \end{equation} \begin{equation} - \sum_{t=1}^{T} X_{t,j} \leq \lfloor {RE_{j}/E_{R}} \rfloor \hspace{6 mm} \forall j \in J, t = 1,\dots,T + \sum_{t=1}^{T} X_{t,j} \leq \lfloor {RE_{j}/E_{th}} \rfloor \hspace{6 mm} \forall j \in J, t = 1,\dots,T \label{eq144} \end{equation} @@ -232,7 +232,7 @@ covered by at least one sensor and, if it is not always the case, overcoverage and undercoverage variables help balancing the restriction equations by taking positive values.
