RSS-Based Coverage Deployment Method Under Probability Model in 3D-WSN

Abstract

Due to the wider application of wireless sensor networks in real life, 3D coverage closer to the actual application environment has become a research hotspot of current sensor networks. To this end, this paper proposes a three-dimensional coverage deployment method based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) under a probabilistic model. According to the path loss of the wireless signal in the propagation process, the distance between the nodes can be roughly calculated, and the maximum distance between the nodes is defined by setting a threshold of the path loss, thereby further ensuring network connectivity and network quality. The probability coverage model is used and the cube-based network coverage is constructed. Based on this, the optimal coverage deployment problem in 3D-WSN is explored. Combining and improving the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm can converge faster and avoid falling into local optimum. The simulation results show that the proposed method can converge quickly to improve network coverage and effectively reduce network energy consumption. In addition, we built a real experimental environment to verify the network quality by observing the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) changes. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.INDEX TERMS Three-dimensional coverage, probability model, RSS, network coverage, network quality.

Deployment Optimization Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Cities: A Systematic Mapping Study

“…About 35% of the reviewed studies worked on an update to swarm intelligence optimization algorithms [ 40 , 44 , 46 ] such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) [ 42 , 58 , 66 , 68 , 69 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 81 , 88 , 97 , 99 ], ant colony optimization (ACO) [ 33 ], and bee colony optimization (BCO) [ 48 , 65 ], due to their ability to solve complex problems and provide a satisfactory solution in a feasible time [ 90 ]. These algorithms are applied to enhance network performance by combining them with other approaches and then comparing the obtained results with other algorithms, such as the genetic, greedy, and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.…”

“…This metric represents a measure of link quality and depends on the distance between two nodes to calculate the reachability of the node through the communication process. RSSI stands for received signal strength indicator that can be determined from the following equation [ 76 , 105 ]: RSSI = −10 × n × log 10 (d) + p where, d: is the distance from the sensor node measured in meters; n: is the propagation constant or path-loss exponent; p: is the power in reception mode (Dbm) (decibel-milliwatts). …”

“…This can be done either by proposing new algorithms or updating existing ones or by a combination of two different types of optimization algorithms, such as a hybrid algorithm between classical and meta-heuristic algorithms or meta-heuristic and artificial intelligence algorithms [11]. About 35% of the reviewed studies worked on an update to swarm intelligence optimization algorithms [40,44,46] such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) [42,58,66,68,69,[74][75][76][77]81,88,97,99], ant colony optimization (ACO) [33], and bee colony optimization (BCO) [48,65], due to their ability to solve complex problems and provide a satisfactory solution in a feasible time [90]. These algorithms are applied to enhance network performance by combining them with other approaches and then comparing the obtained results with other algorithms, such as the genetic, greedy, and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.…”

Game algorithm based on link quality: Wireless sensor network routing game algorithm based on link quality

“…The existence of node selfishness greatly affects the cooperation between all nodes, resulting in uneven energy consumption and shortened life cycle of the network during routing. 8 Therefore, the game theory is introduced to restrain the selfish selection of nodes in the routing process and solve the policy conflicts between nodes, so as to further solve the problem of uneven energy consumption in the network.…”
