Abstract
A dynamic sensor deployment strategy for heterogeneous mobile wireless sensor networks is proposed, so-called virtual force-directed differential evolution algorithm (VFDE). To ensure efficient coverage of networks, VFDE combines the virtual force (VF) with differential evolution algorithm (DE), where the position vector of each population is updated according to not only the historical local and global optimal solutions but also the virtual forces of sensor nodes. The key motivation of this strategy is to use the virtual force to direct the updating of DE for improving the convergence speed, and DE is used to enhance the global searching ability. Simulation results show that VFDE has better performance on regional convergence and global searching than VF algorithm and DE algorithm, and it can implement dynamic heterogeneous mobile sensor deployment efficiently and rapidly.
