Abstract: Abstract We investigate the total covered area by multiple facilities applying the cooperative cover model. We found that the cooperative cover area is much larger than the one found by standard cover models. We also show that for a large number of facilities located in a symmetric grid, an hexagonal grid is best. We also investigate covering a given region, such as a square, by a given number of facilities with the weakest possible signal emitted by the facilities.
