In this article, the authors propose an energy-efficient and light-weight self-organized distributed greedy heuristic to maximize area coverage such that the amount of computation, rounds of communication, and the distance traversed by a node, can be reduced utilizing minimal number of nodes.
Abstract
Given a random deployment of heterogeneous mobile nodes having different sensing ranges, this paper addresses the problem of covering a region using minimum number of nodes with minimum displacement. We propose an energy-efficient and light-weight self-organized distributed greedy heuristic to maximize area coverage such that the amount of computation, rounds of communication, and the distance traversed by a node, can be reduced utilizing minimal number of nodes. Extensive simulation studies on random deployment of nodes with sufficient node density over a 2-D area, show that our proposed technique results hole free area coverage with small number of nodes with minimum possible displacement, both in turn help to prolong the network lifetime.

A Self-organized Reciprocal Control Method for Multi-Agent Coverage

TL;DR: A self-organized reciprocal control method is proposed, which is directly optimized in velocity space, different from the traditional method modeled in configuration space, which considers the reciprocal of neighboring agents that is ignored by most other methods.
