In order to enforce the sensing performance of mobile sensor network (MSN), an enhanced self-deployment (ESD) algorithm is proposed in this paper. By designing the virtual repulsive force between nodes, the movement equation and the virtual attracting-field in the sensing area, the problems of the network partition and coverage holes which are aroused by conventional potential-field-based deployment approach is solved. Simulation results show that ESD algorithm exhibits excellent performance and expands the generalization of MSN greatly.
