  The primary function of a sensor network is to perform the sensing task. For
proper sensing, the coverage and connectivity property of the network must be
maintained. Relationship between coverage and connectivity has been extensively
investigated for full coverage scenarios. But, investing in full coverage
incurs unnecessary cost when partial coverage is sufficient. In this work, we
focus on the relationship between partial coverage and connectivity. We find
the conditions when partial coverage implies connectivity as a function of
coverage fraction. This condition facilitates the network designers to
configure the connected network for desired coverage fraction.
