Abstract

Given a 3D space where should be supervised and a group of mobile sensor actor nodes with limited sensing and communicating capabilities, this paper aims at proposing a distributed self-deployment algorithm for agents to cover the space as much as possible by considering non-uniform sensing coverage degree constraint of environment while preserving connectivity. The problem is formulated as coverage maximization subject to connectivity and sensing coverage degree constraint. Considering a desired distance between neighbouring nodes, an error function which depends on pairwise distance between nodes is described. The maximization is encoded to…(more)
