In this paper, we present a novel and effective method to calculate nearest neighbor nodes in three-dimensional WSNs using Poisson point field theory, which enables each node to find the kth nearest neighbor node and adjust transmitting range according to local requirement. Moreover, we derive the probability expression of the k-connected network. Finally, we give corresponding simulation results and discussions about the practical value for node energy control and design of WSNs. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01054990/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01054990/file/1569299777.pdf %L hal-01054990 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01054990 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-LNCS-6289 %~ IFIP-NPC %~ IFIP-2010
