摘要
In a sensor network, reasonable distribution of sensor nodes will do much good to the improvement of sensorial ability. In a sensor network constructed by randomly scattering, a better sensing coverage can be achieved by topology adjustment utilizing mobility of some sensor nodes. To solve this problem, we define an extending-tree in the sensor network using Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay network. On this base, a new optimization algorithm of sensor node distribution based on genetic algorithm is designed, which provides a sound effective means to improve the sensorial ability of network. Simulation output shows that this algorithm can achieve an optimizing node distribution in the object area, by which sensorial ability of the whole sensor network can be improved at a relatively low cost.
