An Approach with Partical Swarm Optimizer to Optimize Coverage in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

The paper preseats an efficient way to improve the network coverage by artificially deploying the critical Sink nodes. Thus,a study is made to find the best Sink node with the practical swarm optimizer (PSO) algorithm. Simulation shows that PSO algorithm is an easier and reliable way to improve the capability and integrity of networks.
