Abstract:In view of the wireless sensor network nodes randomly and lead to serious redundancy network life is short, covering the efficiency of a defect, the coverage algorithm in wireless sensor network is a kind of chaotic artificial bee colony algorithm. In this paper the utilization of nodes and coverage rate as the optimization objective function, establish corresponding mathematical model, then use chaotic artificial bee colony algorithm improved artificial bee colony algorithm into a local optimum, the slow convergence problem, enhances the convergence speed and precision, to solve the node coverage model, obtains the optimal network coverage scheme. Through simulation, the proposed algorithm can improve the wireless sensor network coverage rate, Coverage can reach more than 93.48% ,reduce network node redundancy, improve the network lifetime, reduce the cost of the network.
