Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently emerged as a key sensing technology with
diverse civilian and military applications. In these networks, a large number of small sensors
or nodes perform distributed sensing of a target field. Each node is capable of sensing
events of interest within its sensing range and communicating with neighboring nodes. The
target field is said to be k-covered if every point in it is within the sensing range of at least k
sensors, where k is any positive integer. We present a comprehensive framework for …
