Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) own large quantities of small, inexpensive sensor nodes over a region of interest. The sensor nodes are randomly deployed in the region. WSNs may suffer coverage problem due to death of the nodes. It may reduce the coverage quality. In this paper, the network maintenance problem is investigated. We firstly introduce the network health indicator model using the sensing probability model and energy consumption model. And then the holes determination problem is converted into the optimization problem, so we employ the Fuzzy C-Mean method to identify the network holes. Finally, network repair method is proposed to maintenance the network. Simulation results show that the proposed method could effectively improve the lifetime of network and sensing quality.
