Abstract
Mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN) are resource constrained, and have limited energy and transmission range. Distributed collaborative beamforming (DCB) in MWSN based on a virtual node antenna array (VNAA) can increase the transmission distance and enhance energy efficiency of a single sensor node. To achieve a lower maximum sidelobe level (SLL), sensor nodes can move to optimal locations with optimal excitation currents for DCB. However, this leads to an extra motion energy consumption. In this paper, we construct a multi-objective optimization framework to jointly optimize the maximum SLL, the transmission power and the motion energy consumption of the DCB nodes in MWSN. Moreover, an improved non-dorminated sorting genetic algorithm-II (INSGAII) is proposed for solving the optimization problem. Simulation results show that the maximum SLL, the transmission power and the motion energy consumption of the VNAA can be effectively optimized by the proposed algorithms.
