Abstract
The computer communication paradigm is moving towards the ubiquitous computing and Internet of Things (IoT). Small autonomous wirelessly networked devices are becoming more and more present in monitoring and automation of every human interaction with the environment, as well as in collecting various other information from the physical world. Applications, such as remote health monitoring, intelligent homes, early fire, volcano, and earthquake detection, traffic congestion prevention etc., are already present and all share the similar networking philosophy. An additional challenging for the scientific and engineering world is the appropriateness of the alike networks which are to be deployed in the inaccessible regions. These scenarios are typical in environmental and habitat monitoring and in military surveillance. Due to the environmental conditions, these networks can often only be deployed in some quasi-random way. This makes the application design challenging in the sense of coverage, connectivity, network lifetime and data dissemination. For the densely deployed networks, the random geometric graphs are often used to model the networking topology. This paper surveys some of the most important approaches and possibilities in modeling and improvement of coverage and connectivity in randomly deployed networks, with an accent on using the mobility in improving the network functionality.
