An Extended Virtual Force-Based Approach to Distributed Self-Deployment in Mobile Sensor Networks

Virtual physics based approach is one of the major solutions for self-deployment in mobile sensor networks with stochastic distribution of nodes. To overcome the connectivity maintenance and nodes stacking problems in the traditional virtual force algorithm (VFA), an extended virtual force-based app...
