Abstract
A method of sensor node position determination for a sensor network is provided. A coverage distribution is defined based on a number of sensor nodes and sensor footprints of the sensor nodes. A desired position for each of the sensor nodes is determined based on the coverage distribution and a prior probability distribution defined on a bounded domain for the number of sensor nodes as a minimization of a distance between the coverage distribution and the prior probability distribution. The desired position to configure the sensor nodes is output.
