Node Deployment Using Virtual Force with Particle Swarm Optimization in WSN

摘要

Sensor nodes are always considered in wireless sensor networks. So deployments of these sensor nodes are considerable, but proper deployment can decrease the complication of problems in wireless sensor networks. During such communication, data routing must be done efficiently in orderto reduce the complexity. In addition, it minimizes energy consumption and thus extends the lifetime of Network. An attempt is made using Virtual Force and Particle Swarm Optimization for effective node deployment. First step, Virtual Force Algorithm is used for placement of nodes. Secondly,the result is provided to Particle Swarm Optimization to optimize the best fit between the neighbor nodes. The result depicts the proper deployment of nodes done in wireless sensor networks and improves the efficiency by minimal energy consumption.
