An Improved Particle Swarm Optimization-Based Coverage Control Method for Wireless Sensor Network

摘要

Coverage control plays a significant role in wireless sensor network (WSN) design. To meet a layout with a certain cover rate, movable nodes are maintained in deployment which accomplish self-organization through moving and changing topological structure. This paper proposes an improved discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm aimed at coverage control method of WSN, and the optimization is implemented under two processes: deployment planning and movement control. The method interpreted in this paper can be easily used solving such problems and the experiment result shows its efficiency, which will inspire new insights in this field.
