In this project, the principal investigator and his assistants are working on a framework for achievingscalability and sustainability in three-dimensional wireless sensor network deployments. The objective isto study the design of energy-efficient three-dimensional k-covered wireless sensor networks, where eachpoint in a field of interest is covered by at least k heterogeneous sensors, in the presence of obstaclesand mobile events in the field. This study is based on Baxter's factorization of Ornstein-Zernike equation,the pair-connectedness theory, and potential fields to solve the problem of joint k-coverage, duty-cycling,and data forwarding in three-dimensional heterogeneous wireless sensor networks with a goal to achievesustainable and scalable deployments. The principal investigator plans to evaluate the performance of thisframework through simulation using a network simulator, such as TOSSIM, and implementation using a test-bed of sensors, such as MICAz motes.This project has significant impact on its field and the society. It has a rich plan for the integrationof research and education through the development of curriculum and resources for teaching to a wide range of undergraduate and graduate students. Based on the results of this project, the principal investigator plans to develop a set of networking courses. Also, the principal investigator has a plan to recruit, train, and mentor graduate and undergraduate students including women and members of underrepresented minority groups. Furthermore, this project allows the principal investigator mentor K-12 teachers and high-school students through research seminars. It helps the principal investigator attract and recruit students to pursue science careers.

在这个项目中，首席研究员和他的助手正在研究一个框架，以实现三维无线传感器网络部署的可扩展性和可持续性。目标是研究节能三维 k 覆盖无线传感器网络的设计，其中在存在障碍物和移动事件的情况下，感兴趣领域中的每个点都被至少 k 个异构传感器覆盖。本研究基于Baxter对Ornstein-Zernike方程的因式分解、配对连通理论和势场来解决三维异构无线传感器网络中的联合k覆盖、占空比和数据转发问题，其目标是实现可持续且可扩展的部署。首席研究员计划通过使用网络模拟器（例如 TOSSIM）进行模拟，并使用传感器测试台（例如 MICAz motes）实施来评估该框架的性能。该项目对其领域和社会产生了重大影响。它制定了丰富的计划，通过开发面向广泛本科生和研究生的教学课程和资源来整合研究和教育。根据该项目的结果，首席研究员计划开发一套网络课程。此外，首席研究员还计划招募、培训和指导研究生和本科生，其中包括女性和代表性不足的少数群体成员。此外，该项目允许首席研究员通过研究研讨会指导 K-12 教师和高中生。它帮助首席研究员吸引和招募学生从事科学事业。
