3D Surface Covering with Virtual Forces

Abstract

The deployment of Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is widely used in monitoring applications. Depending on the entity to be monitored, sensor nodes are deployed in a two-dimension (2D) area or a three-dimension (3D) area. In addition, sensor nodes can be deployed either in a distributed way or their positions are precomputed by a central entity and they are placed at their positions using mobile robots. In this paper, we are interested in the deployment of WSN in a 3D-surface using autonomous and mobile nodes. Our goal is to ensure full 3D-surface coverage and maintain network connectivity. To reach our goal we propose 3D-DVFA-SC, a distributed deployment algorithm based on virtual forces strategy to move sensor nodes. Simulation results show that 3D-DVFA-SC provides a very good coverage rate while maintaining network connectivity.
