Abstract
The consensus algorithm has a faster convergence speed as the number of cooperating neighbors increases, but the information sharing delay in the wireless network increases due to access collisions as the number of cooperating neighbors increases. Therefore, there exists a tradeoff between these two performances according to node's coverage. In this paper, we present a method of coverage control that minimizes consensus time according to network scale.
