The paper "Integrated Coverage and Connectivity Configuration in Wireless Sensor Networks" by Xiaorui Wang, Guoliang Xing, Yuanfang Zhang, Chenyang Lu, Robert Pless, and Christopher Gill presents a novel approach to energy conservation in wireless sensor networks by dynamically configuring the network to achieve guaranteed degrees of coverage and connectivity. The authors introduce the Coverage Configuration Protocol (CCP), which can provide different degrees of coverage requested by applications, allowing the network to self-configure for various applications and environments. They also provide a geometric analysis of the relationship between coverage and connectivity, integrating CCP with the SPAN protocol from MIT to ensure both coverage and connectivity guarantees. The paper includes a detailed analysis of the problem formulation, the relationship between coverage and connectivity, the design and analysis of CCP, and extensive simulations demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed protocols in achieving guaranteed feasible coverage and connectivity configurations.The paper "Integrated Coverage and Connectivity Configuration in Wireless Sensor Networks" by Xiaorui Wang, Guoliang Xing, Yuanfang Zhang, Chenyang Lu, Robert Pless, and Christopher Gill presents a novel approach to energy conservation in wireless sensor networks by dynamically configuring the network to achieve guaranteed degrees of coverage and connectivity.
