Coverage Maximization in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks Using Multi-Agent Krill Herd Algorithm

Abstract

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a group of spatially dispersed sensors that monitor the physical conditions of the environment and collect data at a central location. Sensor deployment is one of the main design aspects of WSNs as this affects network coverage. In this paper, a new Multi-Agent Krill Herd Algorithm (MA-KHA) is employed to maximize the Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) coverage. Simulation results indicate that the agent-agent interactions in MA-KHA improves MWSN coverage compared to Krill Herd Algorithms (KHAs), Under review Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and the Firefly Algorithm (FA).
