Abstract
Considering that existing node coverage scheduling algorithms are mostly based on the accurate location information and have the problems of higher overlap in coverage and lower regional coverage quality, a location-independent energy balanced node-covered scheduling algorithm is proposed. First, the discrimination method for the redundant nodes is emphasized. On this basis, the procedure of the algorithm is given. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can effectively promote the coverage quality with less number of the active nodes compared with the Gao and the LDAS algorithm.
