restoration of coverage blind spots in wireless sensor networks based on ant colony algorithm
Coverage control is one of the key problems of research and application of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, the coverage control problem for hybrid wireless sensor network consisting of both static and mobile sensors is investigated. A dynamic repair mechanism based on the ant colony algorithm is proposed for coverage blind spots found in the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. Simulation results show that the proposed method not only can make the nodes deployment more even, but also can improve the network quality of service, which verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the restoration mechanism based on ant colony algorithm.
