Solving the Energy Efficient Coverage Problem in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Distributed Genetic Algorithm Approach with Hierarchical Fitness Evaluation
This paper proposed a distributed genetic algorithm (DGA) to solve the energy efficient coverage (EEC) problem in the wireless sensor networks (WSN). Due to the fact that the EEC problem is Non-deterministic Polynomial-Complete (NPC) and time-consuming, it is wise to use a nature-inspired meta-heuri...
