Original Abstract

In this paper, the issue of full connection probability and network efficiency using a minimum number of nodes in wireless sensor networks is addressed. We investigate the network characteristics through a number of simulations in Matlab. Using various input parameters, we try to approximate four realistic scenarios: a football pitch, a forest, a building and a tunnel. We also examine the impact of different parameters on the full connection probability (sensors scattering model, path loss model, Tx / Rx powers and observer placement).
