An Optimization Coverage Strategy for Wireless Sensor Network Nodes Based on Path Loss and False Alarm Probability by Jianing Guo, Yunshan Sun, Ting Liu, Yanqin Li, Teng Fei

“…It then employs the Neyman–Pearson criterion to formulate a maximum detection probability model under conditions where the cost function and prior probability are unknown, constraining the false alarm rate. Simulated experiments are conducted to assess the influence of various model parameters on detection probability, providing comparative analysis against traditional perception models. …”
