An Online Distributed Boundary Detection and Classification Algorithm for Mobile Sensor Networks

Pham Duy Hung, Tran Quang Vinh, Trung Dung Ngo

Abstract


We present a novel online distributed boundary detection and classification algorithm in order to improve accuracy of boundary detection and classification for mobile sensor networks. This algorithm is developed by incorporating a boundary detection algorithm and our newly proposed boundary error correction algorithm. It is a fully distributed algorithm based on the geometric approach allowing to remove boundary errors without recursive process and global synchronization. Moreover, the algorithm allows mobile nodes to identify their states corresponding to their positions in network topologies, leading to self-classification of interior and exterior boundaries of network topologies. We have demonstrated effectiveness of
this algorithm in both simulation and real-world experiments and proved that the accuracy of the ratio of correctly identified nodes over the total number of nodes is 100%.
