Abstract :
Directed on the lack of coverage differentiation of the conventional Virtual Force Algorithm (abbr. VFA) deployment algorithm to monitoring area leading to low utilization of network resources, a Self-Deployment Algorithm of Mobile Sensor Network Based on Uniform Density Cluster is presented in this article. Through construction of a virtual gravitational force at the deployment center, and construction of a virtual repulsive force according to local density, self-deployment of node clusters of diversified uniform density is accomplished. Experiment demonstrated that the number of nodes was lessened; anti-splitting and self-repairing abilities were strengthened by the algorithm.
