Optimization for connectivity and coverage issue in target‐based wireless sensor networks using an effective multiobjective hybrid tunicate and salp swarm optimizer

Abstract

Summary The two main important issues in designing target‐based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are coverage and connectivity maximization. In order to tackle the coverage and connectivity problems, we have proposed a hybrid optimization‐based model. Thereby, the target‐based WSNs can include the sensor nodes which are placed based on determining minimum number of selected potential positions. To do that, an optimization approach based on a hybrid tunicate swarm optimizer (TSO) and salp swarm optimizer (SSO) is proposed for coverage and connectivity problems in WSNs. Feature exploitation ability of SSO is improved by TSO operators, because these operators can act as local search operators. Basically, these hybrid algorithm operators are used to derive the fitness function followed with the solution representation step. Initially, the population is generated, and the hybrid tunicate swarm optimizer and salp swarm optimizer (HTSS) algorithm has updated the solutions in the next subsequent step. Ultimately, the nondominated solutions are determined in the final step. The two different scenarios of WSN are used for simulation of this scheme. Simulations have shown its outstanding performance in solving the coverage and connectivity problems in wireless networks.

An Optimal WSN Node Coverage Based on Enhanced Archimedes Optimization Algorithm

“…The optimal results of the EAOA were compared with the other selected schemes—i.e., the SSA [ 44 ], PSO [ 45 ], GWO [ 46 ], SCA [ 47 ], and AOA [ 48 ]—for the coverage optimization of WSN node deployment to verify the adequate performance of the algorithm. Figure 1 displays a graphical diagram of the nodes’ initialization with the EAOA for the statistical coverage optimization scheme with different numbers of sensor nodes: (a) 20, (b) 40, (c) 50, and (d) 60.…”

Optimization of the Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks Dedicated to Fire Detection in Smart Car Parks using Chaos Whale Optimization Algorithm

“…The work in [12] focused on the optimization of the deployment of SNs using a Biogeography Based Optimization where the objectives are the minimization of the sensing interference and the number of deployed SNs, and the maximization of the target coverage, under the the connectivity constraint. Authors in [7], proposed a hybrid meta-heuristic based on the tunicate swarm optimizer and the salp swarm optimizer, with the main aim of determining a minimum number of potential positions selected to place SNs and maximize the target coverage and network connectivity. In [9], the work addressed the deployment of SNs for target coverage using improved gravitational search algorithm (GSA) called oppositional GSA.…”
