Abstract
The Optimal Sink Position Selection Algorithm is proposed based on the maximum demands (OSPSA). In this algorithm the communication demands of the nodes and the communication failure probability between the nodes and the sinks are considered. The sinks multiply cover the key nodes to satisfy the maximum demands to improve the quality of service. Furthermore, the characteristics are analyzed in theory. Simulation experiments are conducted to analyze and compare the relationships between the failure probability, the coverage radius and the maximum coverage demands. Moreover the effects between the number and the maximum coverage demands and the effects between the coverage and the maximum coverage demands are also compared.
