Sm-vsn-3c: a new Starlings model-based virtual sensor networks for coverage, connectivity, and data ccommunication

Abstract

The study of continuous natural or industrial phenomena in time and space requires the emergence of new wireless sensor networks. A virtual sensor network (VSN) is a wireless camera network that appears to overcome the limitations of traditional wireless sensor networks in terms of the ability to store, process, and communicate data in a 3D region of interest. In this paper, we proposed a Starlings Model-based virtual Sensor Network for Coverage, Connectivity, and Data Communication (SM-VSN-3C) to ensure 3D coverage of temporally and spatially continuous 3D phenomena. Starlings are a good example of a VSN in nature. We therefore simulate the 3D movement of the stars in the sky, ensure the associated permanent coverage, and communicate with the Renault model. Use the behavioral model proposed by Reynolds to simulate herd movement. We’ve demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed network (SM-VSN-3C) in terms of communication and continuous coverage in time and space (3D). When simulating large and dense VSNs, there are two challenges in terms of coverage and communication: How to efficiently track a set of VSN-Starlings (VSN-Birds) in terms of coverage? In such a dense environment, how can a single Starling be tracked in terms of communication and data routing?
