Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
A fence covering method of a hybrid wireless sensor node comprises the following steps:
the first step is as follows: reference fence line construction
As shown in fig. 1, n wireless sensor nodes are randomly deployed in an elongated strip-like area with two horizontal boundaries, the length of the elongated strip-like area is L, and the width of the elongated strip-like area is W. In an actual environment, the long strip-shaped area cannot be a straight line, therefore, the fence areas are divided according to a differential idea, each small section of fence area is approximately regarded as a straight line, the position of the reference fence line is obtained by adopting a least square method principle, and as shown in fig. 1, a broken line is a selected reference fence line RBL.
The fitting equation of the reference barrier line is set asTo make the node as close as possible to the straight line, the value y is measured i And fitting equationDeviation of calculated valueMinimum, solved according to the least square method
Substituting the obtained values of a and b into a fitting equationA reference fence line can be obtained. Wherein the number of the reference fence lines is closely related to the k-fence coverage. According to actual needs, strong k-fence coverage or weak k-fence coverage is achieved by constructing a reasonable reference fence line.
The second step is that: monitoring of coverage holes
In the target area, whether a coverage hole exists is judged according to the comparison of the maximum value d (S, V) of the distance between each wireless sensor node and each vertex of the Voronoi polygon (Thiessen polygon) where the wireless sensor node is located and the sensing radius Rs of the wireless sensor node.
The maximum value d (S, V) of the distance between the wireless sensor node and each vertex of the Voronoi polygon where the wireless sensor node is located is as follows:
where d (S, V) represents the maximum value of the distance between the sensor node and each vertex of the Voronoi polygon, S represents the sensor node, V represents the Voronoi vertex, and (x, y) represents the coordinates of the wireless sensor node.
According to the network model, each wireless sensor node can acquire the position information of the wireless sensor node and the wireless sensor nodes adjacent to the wireless sensor node in the Voronoi graph, and through comparing the sizes of d (S, V) and Rs, 3 possible position relations exist between the sensing range of the wireless sensor node and the Voronoi polygon where the wireless sensor node is located, which are respectively as follows: (1) The perception region may have one or more intersections with vertices of the Voronoi polygon; (2) The Voronoi polygon can completely surround the sensing region, otherwise, the Voronoi polygon can be completely included by the sensing region, the situation of coverage holes does not exist in the sensing region, coverage overlapping exists, and nodes are deployed redundantly; (3) When the maximum value d (S, V) of the distances between the centers of the adjacent wireless sensor nodes and the vertex of the Voronoi polygon area is larger than the sensing radius Rs of the wireless sensor nodes, the Voronoi polygon area has a coverage hole.
The third step: wireless sensor node mobile deployment
After the wireless sensor nodes are scattered randomly, whether a hole exists or not is monitored near the reference fence line, and if the hole exists, the hole is repaired through node movement.
The wireless sensor nodes have the defects that the energy stored by the wireless sensor nodes is small, the energy can hardly be supplemented for the wireless sensor nodes, and the like, and in the deployment of a wireless sensor network, the energy consumption must be reduced as much as possible, and the life cycle of the network is prolonged. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the moving direction and the moving distance, and to reduce the moving distance to the maximum and reduce the power consumption.
Determining a direction of node movement by moving a dynamic node to a void region near a reference barrier line to reduce a void area, the void region being provided with a static node S 1 、S 3 And setting a dynamic node S 2 Respectively as static nodes S 1 、S 3 Using the sensing radius Rs of the wireless sensor node as a circle center, respectively taking tangent points A and C on the two circles, and making tangent linesThere is a point B such thatSimultaneous calculationThe value of (c).
Is solved as follows:
wherein, the angle AS 2 C=∠S 1 S 2 S 3 +∠S 1 S 2 A+∠S 3 S 2 C。
In order to reduce the energy loss of nodes, prolong the life cycle of a network and reduce the moving times and moving distance of wireless sensor nodes participating in repair as much as possible in the moving process, the requirements on coverage are specified as follows: the average moving times of the wireless sensor nodes cannot exceed 1/5 of the total number of the dynamic nodes, the average moving distance cannot exceed 13 meters, and the coverage rate reaches 85% -95%.
The fourth step: and repairing the coverage hole.
For the direction of movement of the dynamic node to the fence hole area, i.e. alongMobile dynamic node S 2 Inevitably, the area of the cavity is reduced, and the cavity can be repaired.
According to the vectorThe included angles are different, and the dynamic nodes are arranged alongMoving in the direction to repair the hole, (1) when ≈ AS 2 C =0 °, point a and point C coincide, the two static nodes are tangent,no voids are present; (2) Angle crossing AS 2 When the temperature of the steel is C =90 ℃,by combining dynamic nodes S 2 Along the edgeDirection movementThe cavity can be repaired. AS shown in fig. 2, angle AS 2 C is an obtuse angle, the point B coincides with the dynamic node S4, and the moving distance of the dynamic node S2 is the maximum
When the vector included angle is AS 2 C =180 DEG, cos & lt AS 2 C takes a minimum value of-1, in which case a vector is definedIs directed to the passing point S 2 The vertical line of the wireless sensor node points to the reference barrier line, and the size of the vertical line is the sensing radius Rs of the wireless sensor node. Dynamic nodal edgesAnd when the direction is moved and the area on the left side of the cavity is sensed to be covered, the direction is moved, and the movement is stopped when the area on the right side of the cavity is sensed to be covered.
The fifth step:
and judging the hole area again, and repairing the holes according to the first step to the fourth step until all the holes are repaired, thereby achieving the expected coverage requirement.
