Abstract

Coverage in wireless sensor networks has been an area of interest in recent years. Energy efficiency is also very crucial factor to extend the lifetime of wireless sensor network. In wireless sensor network, main source of energy consumption is sensing and communication. In this paper, we model the coverage problem as multi-objective optimization problem for maximizing the lifetime of network and minimizing the energy consumption while keeping the coverage as a quality of service measure. The network lifetime maximization can be achieved by maximizing the number of cover sets while keeping the desired coverage fraction. We use NSGA-II an evolutionary multi-objective approach to solve this problem successfully.
