In order to improve the coverage rate of the sensor node deployment,concerning the coverage-trap,nodes redundancy and no re-optimization,a senor nodes deployment based on glowworm swarm optimization was proposed when the detection area was known.And the optimization had been improved.In this algorithm,each senor node was considered as a glowworm,and the intensity of signs was the intensity of luciferin.Firstly,the initial deployment of nodes was done.Then,after calculating the value of the movement probability,the direction of movement was determined as well as the direction of movement.Finally,the deployment of sensor nodes was finished.The simulation results show that this way of deployment is appropriate to the huge amounts of sensor nodes deployment,and has such characteristics as high coverage rate and strong flexibility.
