Multiplicatively weighted Voronoi-based sensor collaborative redeployment in software-defined wireless sensor networks

Large-scale deployment of mobile wireless sensor networks has been widely used in some dangerous and hostile urban security surveillance scenarios. As a new network architecture, software-defined networks was introduced into wireless sensor networks to form a new software-defined wireless sensor networks to solve the problem of balanced large-scale deployment of sensor networks and simplify the complexity of network management. In this article, we first develop an original confident information coverage–based multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram through sensor clustering and sensor collaborative sensing. And then, we propose two sensor collaborative redeployment algorithms based on the novel confident information coverage–based multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram and software-defined wireless sensor networks architecture to provide high-confidence coverage and improve the coverage ratio. Finally, we demonstrate the superiority of the confident information coverage–based multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram and the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed algorithms via a series of experiments.
