Coordinate-free quantification of coverage in dynamic sensor networks ?
Each sensor has only a list of its neighboring sensors, with no coordinates, or inter-sensor distance information. Using these snapshots of local information, we describe the dynamic coverage properties of the network. Quantitative output is a weighted barcode, obtained using zigzag persistent homology. Estimated hole size and duration are encoded in this barcode. Method is able to distinguish between different sensor network mobility patterns.
