Abstract:

Under the condition of guaranteeing the permanent operation of the wireless chargeable sensor, based on the directional charging model, the optimal scheduling problem to maximize the cumulative charging utility of wireless sensor networks is studied. Approximation algorithms for selecting the docking spots and planning the moving path for mobile chargers are proposed to solve this problem, the direction selection algorithm based on maximizing charging coverage utility selects the best charging direction for charging mobile. The docking spots selection algorithm based on maximizing the sum of charging coverage utility selects the docking spots for charging mobile. The path planning algorithm based on TSP plans the moving path for mobile chargers. By comparing the effects of different factors through simulation experiments, the experimental results show that compared with omnidirectional charging, the proposed charging strategy can improve the cumulative charging utility of wireless sensor networks by 10%~60% under different network sizes and sensing densities.

Key words: rechargeable sensor, mobile chargers, wireless rechargeable sensor networks, charging scheduling strategy, directional charging model, the cumulative charging utility, coverage utility, move path plan
