This document analyzes intrusion detection in wireless sensor networks with sensors deployed either uniformly or according to a Gaussian distribution. Gaussian distributions can provide different detection probabilities in different locations of the network, which may be useful for improving protection around important areas. The paper characterizes detection probability based on application needs and network parameters for single and multiple sensor detection. It examines the effects of network parameters on probability and compares Gaussian and uniform distributions to provide guidelines for selecting a deployment strategy and key parameters.
