Abstract

Coverage is a significant performance indicator of wireless sensor networks. Data redundancy in k-coverage raises a set of issues including network congestion, coverage reduction, energy inefficiency, among others. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel algorithm called complex alliance strategy with multi-objective optimization of coverage (CASMOC) which could improve node coverage effectively. This paper also gives the proportional relationship of the energy conversion function between the working node and its neighbors, and applies this relationship in scheduling low energy mobile nodes, thus achieving energy balance of the whole network, and optimizing network resources. The extensive simulation results demonstrate that CASMOC could not only improve the quality of network coverage, but also mitigate rapid node energy consumption effectively, thereby extending the life cycle of the network significantly.
