PROJECT TITLE :

Toward Autonomous Mobile Sensor Networks Technology

ABSTRACT:

Mobile sensor networking technology has attracted considerable attention in varied analysis communities in recent years because of their widespread applications in civilian and military environments. One objective when using mobile sensors is to get maximum field coverage by properly deploying sensor nodes. In many real-world applications, a priori information concerning the best deployment position for the sensors is not offered. But, the motion capability of the sensors might permit each node to regulate its position (i.e., relocate) therefore that a higher (and ultimately maximal) coverage is achieved. In this paper, a novel autonomous joint sensing vary and relocation control algorithm is presented that achieves improved coverage and network lifetime at the same time. Within the proposed algorithm, the sensing range of each sensor is adjusted iteratively based mostly on its residual energy. At the same time, the sensor is directed to maneuver inside its corresponding multiplicatively weighted Voronoi region to ultimately increase sensing coverage in the sector. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the technique.
