Abstract
Conference Title: ICC 2017 - 2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications Conference Start Date: 2017, May 21 Conference End Date: 2017, May 25 Conference Location: Paris, France In the Era of the Internet of Things (IoT) the validity of sensing coverage is of utmost importance as it affects the reliability of sensing services. The presence of anchor misplacement poses a challenge on the validity of sensing coverage. This kind of challenge has generally been overlooked in sensing coverage research. In this paper, we investigate the sensing validity under several scenarios of anchor misplacement with different displacement values. We also investigate the error components of measurement and anchor misplacement, and their resultant impact on sensing validity. We model the problem using computational geometry. We provide a theoretical approach to test such validity. Then we propose an algorithm that implements the suggested approach. Our results are further validated through extensive simulation. This study shows interesting results that could be used to mitigate the negative impact anchor misplacement has on sensing coverage.
