Coverage method based on combined weighted clustering for 3D wireless sensor networks
基于组合加权分簇的三维无线传感器网络覆盖控制方法*

Node deployment is a fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks. Aim to using limited energy to achieve maximum coverage ratio, a coverage algorithm based on the energy-aware for 3D wireless sensor networks was proposed in this paper. Compare the combination of weights of the available energy, the average distance with adjacent nodes and the connectivity to determine the head node of cluster. Simulation results show that the coverage based on combined weighted clustering reduces energy consumption, balances network energy and extends lifetime of sensor networks, guarantees the coverage ratio and connectivity premise.
