  Abstract

Sensor deployment makes an effect on not only covering of the interesting area but also reliable data acquisition and efficient resource management of sensor, so that sensors must be deployed at their better place. In traditional static wireless sensor networks, however, it is impossible to deploy the sensors manually when they are distributed in unexploited, hostile, or disaster areas. Therefore, if each sensor has locomotion capability, it can re-deploy itself using the location information of neighbor sensors. In our previous study, we showed that moving sensors to the centroids of their Voronoi polygon is efficient for extending the coverage area. In this paper, we present an improved potential-field-based sensor self-deployment scheme by combining the centroid of Voronoi polygon with the traditional potential-field scheme. Simulation results show that our scheme can achieve higher coverage in shorter time and less movement than the traditional potential-field scheme.
