Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the properties of effective coverage of the two-node team. Radial attenuation disk model is adopted for the individual model of coverage which conforms to the natural characteristics of devices in the real world. For any point in coverage overlapping regions of multiple nodes, based on the superposition principle, its coverage intensity equals the sum of individual coverage intensities, which complies with the collaboration behavior of output (influence) coverage applications. General properties of team’s effective coverage, including its region connectedness, and how it is related to the separation between the two nodes are first studied, followed by numerical analysis and simulations on the relations between nodes optimal separation and three different types of models.
