Abstract

Coverage control is a fundamental and critical issue in plentiful wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Aiming at the high-dimensional optimization problem of sensor node deployment and the complexity of the monitoring area, an orthogonal learning multi-strategy bald eagle search (OLMBES) algorithm is proposed to optimize the location deployment of sensor nodes. This paper incorporates three kinds of strategies into the bald eagle search (BES) algorithm, including Lévy flight, quasi-reflection-based learning, and quadratic interpolation, which enhances the global exploration ability of the algorithm and accelerates the convergence speed. Furthermore, orthogonal learning is integrated into BES to improve the algorithm’s robustness and premature convergence problem. By this way, population search information is fully utilized to generate a more superior position guidance vector, which helps the algorithm jump out of the local optimal solution. Simulation results on CEC2014 benchmark functions reveal that the optimization performance of the proposed approach is better than that of the existing method. On the WSN coverage optimization problem, the proposed method has greater network coverage ratio, node uniformity, and stronger optimization stability when compared to other state-of-the-art algorithms.
