Description
Summary:Wireless rechargeable sensor network (WRSN) uses mobile chargers (MCs) to charge sensor nodes wirelessly to solve the energy problems faced by traditional wireless sensor network. In WRSN, mobile charging schemes with multiple MCs supplementing energy are quite common. How to properly plan the MC’s moving path to reduce the charge energy loss and deploy nodes to improve network coverage rate has become a huge research challenge. In this paper, a collaborative energy optimization algorithm (CEOA) is proposed for multiple chargers based on k-mean++ and node collaborative scheduling. The CEOA combines internal energy optimization and external device power supply, effectively prolongs network lifetime, and improves network coverage rate. It uses the k-mean++ to cluster nodes in the network; then, the nodes in the network are scheduled to sleep based on the confident information coverage (CIC) model. Finally, the CEOA uses a main mobile charger to carry multiple auxiliary mobile chargers to charge all the nodes in the cluster. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm increases the network lifetime by more than 8 times and the coverage rate by about 20%.
