Cross Correlation Function for Different Networks Dimension

Abstract

Determination of Dimensionality of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is very significant for proper setup of the network. A procedure using Cross Correlation Function (CCF) can be used to find it. A network with several sensors is considered where sensors are arranged in different shapes representing different dimensions. Then CCF of these networks is founded out. From the output of the CCF to these networks, a decision can be made about the dimensionality. After that, using analytical analysis this procedure is compared with the simulation result. There exists a great similarity between the simulation and analytical results which give a conclusion in the favour of using the procedure in estimating the dimensionality of WSN.
