Abstract
In this paper we study area coverage in bistatic radar sensor networks (BRSN), which is composed of a collection of transmitters and receivers. Coverage in BRSN is much more difficult than that in traditional sensor networks as the sensing area of a bistatic radar depends on the positions of its component transmitter and receiver, and is in general of an elliptical shape. We first investigate the geometrical relationship between the c-coverage area of a bistatic radar and the distance between its component transmitter and receiver, based on which we reduce the number of candidate bistatic radars from all transmitter-receiver pairs. Then we reduce the problem dimension by transforming the area coverage problem to point coverage problem by employing intersection point concept. Finally we propose an efficient algorithm to solve the Point Coverage Problem, which thus solves the area coverage problem. We perform extensive simulations to validate our analysis and the performance of the proposed algorithm.
