Abstract
In wireless sensor networks applications like rare-event detection, maximizing lifetime, minimizing end-to-end delay, and minimizing the network cost, are some of the most important quality of service requirements. In applications like disastrous or fire event detection, if an event is detected very close to the center facility, the event information should reach to the base-station much faster than an event detected far away. In this work, we are interested to find a minimum cost network for such applications. A stochastic approach is used to find the minimum cost network for given lifetime requirement and spatial differentiated delay constraints. We use Monte-Carlo simulations for validating our analysis. In order to show the effectiveness of our approach, we use network simulator-2 simulations.

Notes
The e2e delay of a node is defined as the average time a packet takes from the node to reach the base-station. Moreover, the e2e delay of the network is defined as the maximum e2e delay encountered by any node in the network.
In this paper we assume that solving the problem of minimum cost network is as same as finding the critical sensor density because the number of nodes is directly proportional to the overall deplyment cost of the network.
This kind of deployment can be justified when the sensor nodes are air-dropped from a plane in a hostile environment.
Note that, a sensor node may not directly communicate to base-station, but multi-hop communication can be used to send the data-packet to he base-station.
Note that, \(t_D\) denotes the average transmission delay without accounting the randomness involved in wireless channel.
The corresponding expected e2e delay associated with a sensor density is estimated using the method described Sect. 3.1.
The CSD is the average number of sensors present in each \({\mathrm{m}}^2\) area.
