A Branch and Bound Algorithm for the Critical Grid Coverage Problem in Wireless Sensor Networks

We aim to cover a grid fully by deploying the necessary wireless sensors while maintaining connectivity between the deployed sensors and a base station ( the sink ). The problem is NP - Complete as it can be reduced to a 2 - dimensional critical coverage problem, which is an NP - Complete problem. W...
