Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a coverage measurement protocol (CMP) which can provide the base station an accurate and in-time measurement of the current connected coverage in an energy-efficient way, and our CMP is location-error tolerant. Moreover, the major component of our CMP, i.e., BOundary Node Detection (BOND) scheme, can be reused to provide many other functionalities for WSNs.
