Introduction It is not practical to manually position

sensors in desired locations.

In this paper, we study deployment of sensor networks using mobile sensors.

Our problem is to determine a movement plan for the sensors in order to maximize the sensor network coverage and minimize the number of flips.

Introduction A certain number of flip-based sensors are

initially deployed in the sensor network that is clustered into multiple regions.

Edmonds-Karp algorithm Use BFS to find the augmenting path. The augmenting path is a shortest path from s to t in

the residual network. Running Time of Edmonds-Karp algorithm : O(VE2). Given a network of seven nodes, source A, sink G,

and capacities as shown below:

Assumption All the sensors are mobile.

Each sensor knows its position.

The sensor network is a square field. It is divided into two-dimensional regions, where each region is a square of size R.

{ } R, where and are sensing

and transmission ranges of the sensors. i.e., R =m*d

Sensors can flip only once to a new location.

SOLUTION Overview

Phase 1 ：Each sensor in the network will first determine its position and the region it resides in.

Phase 2 ：Sensors then forward their location information to the base-station (region-head).

Phase 3 ：The base-station using the region information to determine the movement plan.

Phase 4 ：The base-station will then forward the movement plan to corresponding sensors in the network.

SOLUTION Mobility Model

First ： The distance to which a sensor can flip is fixed and is equal to F.

Second ： Sensors can flip to distances between 0 and F.

Parameters definition F ： The maximum distance a sensor can flip. d ： F is an integral multiple of the basic unit d. ( sensors can flip once to distances d, 2d, 3d, . . . nd from its

current location, where nd = F ).

C ： C=n denotes the sensor has n choices for the flip distance ( between d and maximum distance F ).

1212

Parameters definition (Cont.) Hole ： Region without any

sensor. Source ： Region with at least

two sensors. Forwarder ： Region with only

one sensor.

EX1 ：F=d , C=1 , reachable regions of region 1 are regions 2 and 5.

EX2 ：F=2d , C=1 , reachable regions of region 1 are regions 3 and 9.

EX3 ：F=2d , C=n , reachable regions of region 1 are regions 2,3,5, and 9.

Performance• Qi ： The number of regions with at least one sensor at initial

deployment.

• Qo ： The number of regions with at least one sensor after the movement plan determined by our solution is executed.

• CI = Qo – Qi (Coverage Improvement)

• FD=J/Qo – Qi (Denoting J as the optimal number of flips as determined by our solution).

• Network sizes ： 300*300 units and 150*150 units.

• The region sizes are R = 10 and R = 20 units.

• The basic unit of flip distance d = 10 units. C=1 and C=n.

• The number of sensors deployed is equal to the number of regions.

• PN = P/Q (Denoting P as the total number of packets (or messages) sent and Q as the number of regions).

• ： Different distributions in initial deployment.
