  1. Analysis of Hop-Distance Relationship in Spatially Random Sensor Networks Serdar Vural and Eylem Ekici Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The Ohio State University { vurals, ekici }@ece.osu.edu

  2. Introduction • Random deployment of sensor networks is widely assumed for various applications • Performance metrics that depend on sensor positions: • Coverage • Delay • Energy Consumption • Throughput … • If sensor locations are unknown, modeling sensor locations becomes important for: • Pre-deployment: Estimate metrics probabilistically • Post deployment: Use simple metrics (e.g. hop count) for fine-granularity location/distance estimations

  3. Aim • Find the relationship between hop count and Euclidean distance • Distribution of maximally covered distance dN in N hops • Important for distance estimations through broadcasting • Need to know spatial distribution of sensors • Spatially uniform with density λ

  4. Analysis Topics • One dimensional networks: • Theoretical expressions for , and • Approximations of , and • Distribution approximation • Generalization to 2D networks

  5. Single-hop distance R Cover maximum distance in a hop! ri-1 rei-1 R ri rei • The pdf of a single-hop-distance in a one dimensional network [1] is: [1] Y.C. Cheng, and T.G. Robertazzi, “Critical Connectivity Phenomena in Multi-hop Radio Models,“ IEEE Transactions on Communications, vol. 37, pp. 770-777,July 1989.

  6. Multi-hop distance • Consider sensors at the maximum distance to a transmitting node • The pdf of a multi-hop-distance in a one dimensional network:

  7. Expected Value and Standard Deviation of dN • Computationally costly  Approximation required!

  8. Expected Value and Standard Deviation of dN Approximations for: • Expected value and standard deviation of ri • Expected value and standard deviation of Dn ASSUMPTION: “Single-hop distances are identically distributed … but not independent!”

  9. Approximated E[ri] • Expected distance of hop i: • Expected value of vacant region rei: • Expected single-hop distance:

  10. Approximated σri • Variance of single-hop distance:

  11. Experimental, Theoretical, Approximated E[ri] and σri R=100 Approximated and theoretical results match the experimental ones almost perfectly

  12. Multi-hop distance dNApproximated E[dN] and σdN • Expected multi-hop distance, E[dN]: • Variance of multi-hop distance:

  13. Approximation of E[ri] • Theoretical expressions are computationally costly • Maximum number of hops • limited • Decaying oscillatory character around the approximation value

  14. Expected dN R=100 High density High density Low density Low density

  15. Standard Deviation of dN σdN Density increases

  16. Distribution of dN • Observation: • Closed form solutions very costly to obtain • Multi-hop distance distribution resembles Gaussian distribution • with mean E[dN] and std. dev. σdN

  17. Distribution of dN • A statistical measure to test Gaussianity is required Kurtosis[2]: • Kurtosis expression is complicated for multi-hop • Can we approximate? [2] A. Hyvarinen, J. Karhunen, and E. Oja (2001), “Independent Component Analysis,“ John Wiley & Sons

  18. Kurtosis of dN • Kurtosis of dN can be obtained by using determining moments of dN:

  19. Experimental vs. Approximated Kurtosis Values for Changing Node Density

  20. Experimental vs. Approximation Kurtosis Values for Changing Communication Range

  21. Mean Square Error between Multi-hop and Experimental Gaussian Distributions Highest Density Lowest Density

  22. Extensions to 2D Networks • Geometric complexity • Analysis is more complicated than 1D case regarding: • Definition • Modeling • Calculation of the expected value and standard deviation of distance • Definition of a region: • 1D : a line segment • 2D : an (irregular) area

  23. Directional Propagation Model • Angular slice S(α,R) • Find the farthest sensor within • S(α,R) at each hop • A chain of such hops forms a • multi-hop distance

  24. Conclusions • The distribution of the maximum Euclidean distance for a given number of hops is studied • Theoretical expressions are computationally costly • Presented efficient approximation methods • Multi-hop-distance distribution resembles Gaussian distribution  Possible to model by Gaussian pdf • Need only the mean and the variance values • Highly accurate results that match experimental and theoretical results obtained • A model is also proposed for 2D Sensor Networks
