Abstract
Recent advancement in wireless charging technologies has enabled us to design and development of Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks (WRSNs) for sensing and data gathering tasks for a very long duration. The fundamental research challenge in WRSN is to design efficient path scheduling for Mobile Wireless Charging Vehicles (MWCVs) such that it maximizes utility of energy resource of MWCVs and minimizes average delay in charging process of the network. Most of the existing solutions for path scheduling of MWCVs suffer from high charging latency,poor energy usage efficiency, and low scalability issues. In order to overcome these issues, this research paper proposed a novel algorithm for scheduling of multiple mobile rechargers using Hybrid meta-heuristic technique. In the proposed Hybrid meta-heuristic-based algorithm, best features of Cuckoo Search and Genetic Algorithm are combined to optimize the path scheduling problem. This work derives a novel fitness function for optimizing the performance of the scheduling. To show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, an extensive simulation experiments are performed under different network scenarios and results are compared with the latest state-of-art schemes. Result analysis confirms advantages of the proposed scheme in terms of charging latency, total travel distance and energy usage efficiency.
