The dynamic coverage control strategy for wireless sensor networks

A dynamic coverage control strategy based on genetic and taboo hybrid optimization is proposed for WSN with high density nodes. Our strategy designs the mechanism of density detection to optimize the initial population and improve the quality of the population; it adopts the elitist operation to improve the speed of optimization; it introduces the idea of taboo and designed two taboo operations to achieve the effective local search and improve the ability of global optimization; it designs the rotation of coverage sets of nodes triggered by energy, which can balance the energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of network further. Simulation and theoretical analysis verified the validity and superiority of out strategy.
