Abstract: |
In this paper, three distributed and scalable nonuniform deployment algorithms in order to enhance the quality of monitoring (QoM). Mobile sensors are to be deployed around a target of interest which can be stationary or moving, and to approximate a given weight function which is a measure of information or event density. The first two algorithms generate nonuniform deployments by inverse-transformations from a uniform deployment. They handle the situations of global coordinate system which is available and not with appropriate assumptions, respectively. The third algorithm, which relocates sensors to adjust inter-node distances based on the local measurements only, is suitable for general cases. The simulation results demonstrate the proposed algorithms can achieve reliable and satisfactory deployments. |
