Abstract

Background and Objectives: The quick response time and the coverage range are the crucial ‎factors by which the quality service of a wireless sensor network ‎can be acknowledged. In some cases, even networks possess ‎sufficient available bandwidth but due to coverage tribulations, the ‎customer satisfaction gets down suddenly. The increasing number of ‎nodes directly is neither a canny solution to overcome the coverage ‎problem nor a cost-effective. In fact, by changing the positions of the ‎deployed node sagaciously can resolve the coverage issue and seems ‎a cost-effective solution. Therefore, keeping all circumstances, a ‎Depuration based Efficient Coverage Mechanism (DECM) has been ‎developed. This algorithm suggests the new shifting positions for ‎previously deployed sensor nodes to fill the coverage gap.
Methods: It is a redeployment process and accomplished in two rounds. The ‎first round avails the Dissimilitude Enhancement Scheme (DES)‎, ‎which searches the node to be shifted at new positions. The second ‎round controls the unnecessary movement of the sensor nodes by ‎the Depuration mechanism thereby the distance between previous ‎and new positions is reduced. ‎
Results: The factors like loudness, pulse emission rate, maximum ‎frequency, and sensing radius are meticulously explored during ‎simulation rounds conducted by MATLAB. The performance of ‎DECM has been compared with superlative algorithms i.e., Fruit Fly ‎Optimization Algorithm (FOA)‎, Particle Swarm Optimization ‎‎(PSO)‎, ‎and Ant Colony Optimization ‎‎(ACO)‎ in terms of mean coverage ‎range, computation time, standard deviation, and network energy ‎diminution.‎
Conclusion: According to the simulation results, the DECM has achieved more ‎than 98% coverage range, with a trivial computation time of nearly ‎‎0.016 seconds as compared to FOA, PSO, and ACO.  ‎

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering Innovations (JECEI) welcomes letters to the editor for the post-publication discussions and corrections which allows debate post publication on its site, through the Letters to Editor. Letters pertaining to manuscript published in JECEI should be sent to the editorial office of JECEI within three months of either online publication or before printed publication, except for critiques of original research. Following points are to be considering before sending the letters (comments) to the editor.


[1] Letters that include statements of statistics, facts, research, or theories should include appropriate references, although more than three are discouraged.

[2] Letters that are personal attacks on an author rather than thoughtful criticism of the author’s ideas will not be considered for publication.

[3] Letters can be no more than 300 words in length.

[4] Letter writers should include a statement at the beginning of the letter stating that it is being submitted either for publication or not.

[5] Anonymous letters will not be considered.

[6] Letter writers must include their city and state of residence or work.

[7] Letters will be edited for clarity and length.
