Wireless sensor network coverage problem using modified fireworks algorithm

subject

description

Wireless sensor networks are emerging technology with increasing number of applications, and consequently an active research area. One of the problems pertinent to wireless sensor networks is the coverage problem with number of definitions, depending on the assumed conditions. In this paper we consider hard optimization area coverage problem with the goal of finding optimal sensor nodes positions that maximize probabilistic coverage of the area of interest. For such type of optimization problem swarm intelligence stochastic metaheuristics have been successfully used. In this paper we propose a modified enhanced fireworks algorithm for wireless sensor network coverage problem and compare it with other approaches from literature, where our algorithm proved to be very robust and better, considering all conducted tests.
