| Abstract | The Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN), classified within MANETS, havemultiple applications for critical situations management such as target monitoringand tracking in conflict zones, supporting urban security, critical infrastructure monitoring,remote locations exploration (i.e. aerospace exploration), and patients monitoringand care in health facilities, among others. All of these applications haverequirements of certain intelligence in the network that can be used for network’sself-configuration in order to find targets, guarantee connectivity and informationavailability until its reception.This paper proposes a MWSN architecture with an initial random distribution in aspecific work area, and a centralized management to perform autonomous decisionmaking about the movement and connectivity of the sensors. The work area presentsmobile targets with interesting events which must be covered by the mobile sensors,and thus, send the collected information through the network to any base stationavailable. Our work shows a dynamic mathematical model used to maximize targets’coverage and send its sensed information to the base stations available, while minimizingsystem’s power consumption and maximizing operation time. The heuristicalgorithm we used to construct and find a feasible solution is also shown. |
