Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are an evolving research area with many applications. In most utility applications, sensor nodes have limited power resources. Therefore, it is crucial to control energy consumption to extend network lifetime effectively. The challenge is to program sensor availability and activity for maximizing network coverage lifetime. This problem is classified as an NP-hard and is called the Maximum Coverage Set Scheduling Problem (MCSS). In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm for extending WSN lifetime. The proposed algorithm was compared with Greedy-MCSS and MCSSA algorithms. The simulation results show the gain and the good impact by using the genetic algorithm in our approach.
