INVESTIGATION OF SENSOR NODE PLACEMENT ON A PLANE USING A GENETIC ALGORITHM
The study focuses on investigating the efficiency of a genetic algorithm-based sensor node placement method for a random topology. The primary objective is to identify a node configuration that minimizes the number of "blind spots" and ensures the most efficient coverage of a given area. Random node placement is characterized by the potential for each node to establish connections with other nodes, resulting in a complex search space. For this study, 25 nodes with identical sensing radii were analyzed.
