An Energy-Balanced Probability Coverage Algorithm for WSN
Yu Xiong Su, Dong Wang · Advanced materials research · 2011
The sensing capabilities of sensor nodes are affected by various factors in the actual environment, and the ideal disk sensing model is not available in the practical sensor network. In this paper, we proposed an Energy-balance Coverage Algorithm based on Probability (ECAP). The algorithm applies to a limited target point monitoring issues, using the heuristic greedy strategy. The nodes that have a larger detecting probability and higher energy are selected to construct a coverage set. It improves energy efficiency, and extends the lifetime of sensor networks. Experiments also show that the algorithm has high stability.
