Abstract
Sensor network is a combination of a number of interconnected nodes, connected wirelessly. Topologies of the wireless sensor network (WSN) depend upon deployment, energy, environment, application, routing, scheduling data aggregation and security etc. So, designing a routing protocol to get maximum coverage in defined area is quite difficult with minimal energy and maximum lifetime. The main focus in the paper lies in finding out the coverage of randomly deployed node and suggests an algorithm to improve the coverage.
