Wireless sensor networks constitute the platform of a broad range of applications related to national security, surveillance, military, health care, and environmental monitoring. The coverage problem for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been studied extensively in recent years, especially when combined with connectivity and energy efficiency. This paper focuses on the sensor replacement problem in wireless sensor networks consists of mobile sensors. Mobility equipped sensors are utilized to recover and maintain the overall coverage using the dynamic cluster concept. The proposed fault repair solution does not assume the localization information is available. Mobile sensor nodes make use of simple geometric operation to locate and replace dying nodes to recover or increase the existing coverage and connectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
