In mobile wireless sensor networks, coverage and energy are two significant factors determining network performance. When taking both factors into account, the challenges include how to select and migrate nodes to keep coverage quality, how to forecast and prevent potential coverage holes and how to use energy control in mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a new Coverage Maintenance and Energy Control (CMEC) algorithm to achieve and keep high coverage quality and energy efficiency. For CMEC, we provide a new cost metric for selecting migration nodes. Our simulation results confirm that our algorithm improves coverage performance and lifetime of network.
