Coverage Enhancement Strategy Based on Novel Perception and Co-evolution for Multimedia Sensor Networks

Coverage enhancement is one of the hot research topics in wireless multimedia sensor networks. A novel Coverage-enhancing algorithm based on three-dimensional Directional perception and co-evolution (DPCCA) is proposed in multimedia sensor networks on the basis of the model whose pitch angle and deviation angle can be adjusted. Based on the proposed elliptical cone sensing model, we can derive the coverage area of the node and calculate the optimal pitch angle according the information of monitoring area and the nodes, and then the deviation angle is optimized based on co-evolution algorithm, which eliminate the overlapped and blind sensing area effectively. A set of simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in coverage ratio.
