Abstract

This letter addresses a coverage problem through the use of a self-deployed mobile wireless sensor network. We propose a distributed motion coordination algorithm for the mobile sensors to autonomously form a sensor barrier between two given landmarks to achieve the barrier coverage. The algorithm is developed based on some simple rules that are computationally efficient and require less communication overhead.
