Deployment in 2D Triangular-grid Coverage PropertiesTriangular-grid Coverage Properties –Sensors with same sensing range r –Optimal deployment to cover a 2D area with minimum number of sensors 6

Deployment in 2D Triangular-grid Coverage PropertiesTriangular-grid Coverage Properties –Sensing coverage η –We can estimate d/r when we set η. In this paper, η=0.95, and corresponding d/r = Overlap Non-overlap
