Movement-Assisted Sensor Deployment Algorithms: A Survey and Taxonomy

摘要: One of the fundamental design issues in mobile wireless sensor networks is how to efficient movement-assisted deployment algorithms that relocate nodes order meet desired performance goals. This survey focuses on a variety have been proposed and studied by researchers highlights their strengths limitations. The various models, assumptions, objectives, constraints are identified, different formulations enumerated. A taxonomy captures differences among existing solutions introduced. Six classes approaches each one them uses specific principle from initial position new target position. used provide an exhaustive classification approaches. For identified class, self-deployment discussed. Furthermore, comparisons between also performed, therefore providing not only complete view state-of-the-art but useful insights for selecting algorithm most appropriate application at hand. paper open problems this area research.
