Optimizing Connected Target Coverage in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution

Öz

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are advanced communication technologies with many real-world applications such as monitoring of personal health, military surveillance, and forest wildfire; and tracking of moving objects. Coverage optimization and network connectivity are the critical design issues for many WSNs. In this study, the connected target coverage optimization in WSNs is addressed and it is solved using self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm (SADE) for the first time in literature. A simulation environment is set up to measure the performance of SADE for solving this problem. Based on the experimental settings employed, the numerical results show that SADE is highly successful for dealing with connected target coverage problem and can produce higher performance in comparison with other widely-used metaheuristic algorithms such as classical DE, ABC, and PSO.
