Efficient utilization of energy of the network is one of the major issues faced by wireless sensor network, when sensors are placed in a hostile environment. One of the methods to solve this problem is to activate only a few sensors which satisfy the coverage constraints. This can be done by partitioning a set of all sensors into many subsets or sensor covers such that each sensor cover satisfies the coverage constraints and activating them subsequently which leads to increase the network lifetime. A memetic algorithm is proposed in this paper for the qcoverageproblem where each target can be covered by one or more sensors. The cardinal objective of the proposed algorithm is to maximize the lifespan of the network while satisfying the coverage constraints. The proposed algorithm avoids redundancy and utilizes the available resources to maximize the network lifetime. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm performs better than the existing algorithms.

Wireless sensor networks have become one of the prominent and persuasive methods for surveillance of inaccessible physical areas and are employed in innumerable applications in various fields. Some applications may require directional sensor nodes in contrast to the conventional omnidirectional ones. Many challenges emerge during deployment of such sensor networks especially in terms of energy constraints. These sensor nodes are furnished with non-rechargeable energy sources which may lead to inefficiency in the network within a very short span of time. Conserving energy of the sensor nodes by organizing the sensor nodes into cover sets and actuating them one after the other, while ensuring maintenance of the complete coverage of all targets, is one of the common approaches to extend the network lifetime. This paper addresses q-coverage problem of directional sensor networks in which each target is required to be covered by different number of sensor nodes for effective surveillance and q-coverage constraints are considered while segregating the sensor nodes operating in different sensing directions to a different cover sets. An approach based on genetic algorithm is proposed to find an ideal solution to the directional q-coverage problem and the simulation results confirm that the network lifetime is prolonged.

WSN has been playing a significant role in various applications in recent days. The main issue in wireless sensor network, particularly for target coverageproblem is to achieve maximum quality of coverage with limited sensors. To short out these issues, identify the optimal position for each sensor to satisfy the coverage requirement. This paper proposes a particle swarm optimization for q-coverage problem, where each target can be covered by one or more sensors. The main objective of the proposed algorithm is to optimize the position of sensors for satisfying q-coverage constraints. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a good q-coverage compared with random deployment of sensors.
