title = "Movement-assisted sensor deployment",
abstract = "Sensor deployment is an important issue in designing sensor networks. In this paper, we design and evaluate distributed self-deployment protocols for mobile sensors. After discovering a coverage hole, the proposed protocols calculate the target positions of the sensors where they should move. We use Voronoi diagrams to discover the coverage holes and design three movement-assisted sensor deployment protocols, VEC (VECtor-based), VOR (VORonoi-based), and Minimax based on the principle of moving sensors from densely deployed areas to sparsely deployed areas. Simulation results show that our protocols can provide high coverage within a short deploying time and limited movement.",
