Abstract :

The directional sensor networks (DSNs) are mainly focused to prolong the network lifetime and to optimize the energy consumption of sensors. The number of sensors deployed in an environment is much higher than those required for providing the coverage; therefore, the energy-aware methods are needed to select the sensors. Coverage is considered a major problem in DSNs and is a criterion for quality of service (QOS).In this regard, the sensor scheduling method has been discussed by researchers to prolong the sensor lifetime in a network. The present paper proposes an NSGAII-based algorithm to solve the sensors 'scheduling. This paper aimed at finding a practical solution in solving the multi-objective problems by using the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm method. There are two parameters presented for evaluating the solutions, including the number of sensors, the target coverage. To confirm the high performance of the proposed algorithm, it was compared with the recently presented algorithm. According to the simulation findings, the algorithm had better results in the comparison parameters.
