Node Deployment Algorithm Based on Viscous Fluid Model for Wireless Sensor Networks

الملخص EN

With the scale expands, traditional deployment algorithms are becoming increasingly complicated than before, which are no longer fit for sensor networks.

In order to reduce the complexity, we propose a node deployment algorithm based on viscous fluid model.

In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are abstracted as fluid particles.

Similar to the diffusion and self-propagation behavior of fluid particles, sensor nodes realize deployment in unknown region following the motion rules of fluid.

Simulation results show that our algorithm archives good coverage rate and homogeneity in large-scale sensor networks.
