Abstract
K-barrier coverage optimization problem is concentrating on how to select sensor nodes from the monitoring area of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to form the highest quality of k-barrier coverage. Sink-connected barrier coverage optimization problem (SCBCOP) focuses on how to choose the minimum number of forwarding nodes to make each detecting node sink-connected for the security requirements of the belt monitoring region. However, the existing algorithm, such as optimal node selection algorithm(ONSA), can find the optimized k-barrier coverage of sink-connected, but it may form a large number of data packets interference (or collisions) and cannot transfer the information to sink nodes in time because the different detecting nodes can transmit invasive information at the same time. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to reduce interference among the nodes and select routing path to optimize k-barrier coverage and satisfy sink-connected. In this paper a scheduling algorithm is proposed to build the routing path and maintain sink-connected. The algorithms is present in detail through forwarding routing tree and multi-channel scheduling to further reduce the interference of packet transmission among sensor nodes. Moreover, the comparison between other approaches and our proposal is mentioned through the simulation to show the potential efficiency and better performance of interference of packet transmission among sensor nodes with the lower packet loss rate, the shorter packet delay and the larger network average throughput.
