Coverage with k-Transmitters in the Presence of Obstacles

For a fixed integer k [greater than or equal to] 0, a k-transmitter is an omnidirectional wireless transmitter with an in nite broadcast range that is able to penetrate up to k "walls", represented as line segments in the plane. We develop lower and upper bounds for the number of k-tran...

description For a fixed integer k [greater than or equal to] 0, a k-transmitter is an omnidirectional wireless transmitter with an in nite broadcast range that is able to penetrate up to k "walls", represented as line segments in the plane. We develop lower and upper bounds for the number of k-transmitters that are necessary and sufficient to cover a given collection of line segments, polygonal chains and polygons.
