Abstract

In this paper, we study the dominating selection optimisation problem with multiple channels and multiple radios in wireless sensor networks. The objective is to maximise the number of targets covered while selecting at most k nodes and at most ki channels with each selected node vi. Our problem is a general case of the maximum coverage problem. We propose two algorithms: the first one is based on linear programming and PIPAGE rounding, in which its approximation ratio is 1/K(1−(1−1/m)m), where m is the number of the dominating nodes and K = max ki. The second algorithm is based on greedy strategy with low time complexity. The simulation shows that the both two algorithms have good performance.
