10 10 Sensor Placement Problem A  Input: sensing field A A A is modeled as an arbitrary-shaped polygon A A may contain several obstacles  Obstacles are also modeled by polygons A  Obstacles do NOT partition A  Each sensor has a sensing distance r s and communication distance r c But we do NOT restrict the relationship between r s and r c A  Our goal is to place sensors in A to ensure both sensing coverage and network connectivity using as few sensors as possible

11 11 Two Intuitive Placements Consider coverage first Consider connectivity first Need to add extra sensors to maintain connectivity when Need to add extra sensors to maintain coverage when

12 12 Proposed Placement Algorithm A  Partition the sensing field A into two types of sub- regions: Single-row regions Single-row regions  A belt-like area between obstacles whose width is NOT larger than, where r min = min(r s, r c )  We can deploy a sequence of sensors to satisfy both coverage and connectivity Multi-row regions Multi-row regions  We need multi-rows sensors to cover such areas  Note: Obstacles may exist in such regions.

13 13 Step 1: Partition the Sensing Field A  From the sensing field A, we identify all single-row regions A ’ s Expand the perimeters of obstacles outwardly and A ’ s boundaries inwardly by a distance of r min If the expansion overlaps with other obstacles, then we can take a projection to obtain single-row regions  The remaining regions are multi-row regions.

14 14 An Example of Partition Multi-row regions Single-row regions

15 15 Step 2: Place Sensors in a Single-row Region  Deploy sensors along the bisector of region

16 16 Step 3: Place Sensors in a Multi-row Region  We first consider a 2D plane without boundaries & obstacles Deploy sensors row by row A row of sensors needs to guarantee coverage and connectivity Adjacent rows need to guarantee continuous coverage  Case 1: Sensors on each row are separated by r c Adjacent rows are separated by  Case 2: Each sensor is separated by

17 17 Case 1:  Sensors on each row are separated by r c  Adjacent rows are separated by

18 18 Case 2: Each sensor is separated by

19 19 Refined Step 3:  For a multi-row region with boundaries and obstacles, We can place sensors one by one according to the following locations (if it is not inside an obstacle or outside the region)

20 20 Step 4:  Three unsolved problems Some areas near the boundaries are uncovered Need extra sensors between adjacent rows to maintain connectivity when Connectivity to neighboring regions needs to be maintained  Solutions Sequentially place sensors along the boundaries of the regions and obstacles

22 22 Problem Definition  We are given A A sensing field A IA An area of interest I inside A SA A set of mobile sensors S resident in A S’SI I  The sensor dispatch problem asks how to find a subset of sensors S’ in S to be moved to I such that after the deployment, I satisfies coverage and connectivity requirements and the movement cost satisfies some objective functions.

23 23 Two Objective Functions  Minimize the total energy consumption to move sensors : unit energy cost to move a sensor in one step d i : the distance that sensor i is to be moved  Maximize the average remaining energy of sensors in S ’ after the movement e i : initial energy of sensor i

49 49 Proposed Dispatch Algorithm (I) I  Step1: Run any sensor placement algorithm on I to get the target locations L={(x 1, y 1 ), …,(x m, y m )}  Step2: For each sensor, determine the energy cost c(s i, (x j, y j )) to move s i to each location (x j, y j ))  Step3: Construct a weighted complete bipartite graph, such that the weight of each edge is w(s i, (x j, y j )) = - c(s i, (x j, y j )), if objective function (1) is used w(s i, (x j, y j )) = e i - c(s i, (x j, y j )), if objective function (2) is used

50 50 Proposed Dispatch Algorithm (II)  Step4: Construct a new graph from G, where L is a set of |S|-|L| elements, each called a virtual location. The weights of edges incident to L are set to w min, where w min ={min. weight in G}-1.  Find the maximum-weight perfect-matching M on graph G by using the Hungarian method.  Step5: For each edge c(s i, (x j, y j )) in M such that, move sensor s i to location (x j, y j ) via the shortest path. If, it means that we do not have sufficient energy to move all sensors. Then the algorithm terminates. ^ ^ ^ ^^^ ^

51 51 Find the Maximum-Weight Perfect-Matching

52 52 The Hungarian Method

53 53 A Distributed Dispatch Algorithm I  Step1: The sink runs the placement algorithm on the area I to obtain a set of locations L = {(x 1, y 1 ); … ; (x m, y m )} to be occupied by sensors. The sink then broadcasts L to all sensors.  Step2: On receiving the table L, a sensor will keep a copy of L and mark each location (x j, y j ) as unoccupied.  Step3: Each sensor s i then chooses an unoccupied location (x j ; y j ) from L as its destination. The selection of (x j ; y j ) is dependent on our objective function.

54 54 A Distributed Dispatch Algorithm  Step4: On s i ’ s way moving toward its destination, it will periodically broadcast the status of its table L, its destination, and its cost to move to that destination. The above action can be controlled by setting a timer T broadcast. For all locations marked as occupied by s i, s k will also mark them as occupied. If both s i and s k are moving toward the same destination, they will compete by their costs.  The one with a lower cost will win and keep moving toward that destination.  The one with a higher cost will give up moving toward that destination and go back to step 3 to reselect a new destination.

55 55 A Distributed Dispatch Algorithm  Step5: Each sensor will repeat the above steps until it reaches its destination or loses to another sensor and finds that all locations in L have been marked as occupied.
