Abstract
In order to further explore the mechanism about large scale wireless sensor networks, a novel model with deterministic design is proposed . As the network grows, the whole system eventually evolves into a large-scale one. The theoretical analysis and simulation show that the tail of its accumulative degree distribution of nodes along off-diagonal line observes power law property, the average shortest path length linear and the clustering coefficient monotonically increasing. Although building such kind of wireless sensor network might be costly, its overall performance is desirable, and can draw us much more enthusiasm to keep it as upper bound of statistical analysis.
