Barrier coverage is an important research issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Barrier gaps may exist due to deployment randomness or battery depletion. It is critical to address the problem with an energy-efficient method due to the high cost of mobile sensors. Besides, it is a challenge to in...
