Abstract: A particle swarm algorithm is applied to an optimum coverage problem of wireless sensor network nodes, and the invention provides a coverage mechanism of the particle swarm optimization algorithm based on a discrete binary edition, and the mechanism is used for performing optimal solution on the wireless sensor network node coverage problem. The method comprises the following steps: defining the wireless sensor network node coverage problem as a 0/1 planning problem, encoding individuals of a binary particle swarm algorithm as a 0/1 binary string and then performing optimization by an evolutionism of the particle swarm algorithm. In the method, two important indexes are defined to evaluate the solution results, one index is 'coverage' of a region, and the other index is 'consumption rate' of the sensor. Validity and high efficiency of the algorithm are verified by a simulation experiment.

An individual coding and a real network structure are directly corresponding to each other through the coding mode, the gen etic algorithm not only is easy to understand, but also is simple to achieve, and is convenient to use.
