Mohammadjavad Abbasi, Muhammad Shafie Abd Latiff . Mobility Control to Improve Nanosensor Network Lifetime based on Particle Swarm Optimization. International Journal of Computer Applications. 30, 4 ( September 2011), 18-23. DOI=10.5120/3631-5070
Mobility control is a very challenging issue in Wireless nanosensor networks (WNSNs). Motion and exploiting movement to improve the performance of WNSNs has significant impacts on the deployment of WNSNs. In this paper, we propose a new mobility control algorithm to maximize the wireless nano sensor node lifetime and improve the network performance. The algorithm is based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Simulation results show that the proposed optimization algorithm improves the network coverage by better utilization of neighbor nodes. The results also demonstrate that the algorithm increases nano sensor lifetime.
