Resource Overview

Coverage preservation is a fundamental quality requirement in WSNs. Selecting an optimal cluster head to ensure complete long-term monitoring area coverage. Employing coverage-aware methods rather than energy-based approaches for cluster head selection can extend the scenario’s effective lifetime.

Detailed Documentation

Coverage preservation serves as a fundamental quality requirement in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). To achieve complete and prolonged monitoring area coverage, it is essential to select an optimal cluster head. Unlike energy-based approaches, utilizing coverage-aware methods for cluster head selection can significantly extend the effective operational time of the scenario. In implementation, this may involve algorithms that evaluate sensor node positioning and coverage redundancy, using functions like calculate_coverage_efficiency() or optimize_cluster_selection(). Additionally, other factors such as communication quality, sensor distribution density, and node residual energy can be integrated into the selection criteria. By comprehensively weighing multiple factors through multi-objective optimization algorithms, we can enhance cluster head selection strategies, thereby improving both the performance and coverage range of wireless sensor networks.
