Abstract

Barrier coverage is known to be an appropriate model of coverage for movement detection and boundary guard, which is achieved by barriers of sensors. This paper is focused on how to achieve strong k-barrier coverage with mobile sensors energy-efficiently. We first design an approximation algorithm CBGB to achieve strong 1-barrier coverage energy-efficiently, and the performance of CBGB is close to the optimal solution. Then, we propose a Divide-and-Conquer algorithm to achieve strong k-barrier coverage for large sensor networks. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for achieving k-barrier coverage.
