Aiming at the optimization of node distribution, this paper investigates the problem of maximizing the effective
coverage area of mobile sensor networks under the premise of guaranteeing the network connectivity. A node distribution
optimization scheme based on differential evolution algorithm is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed
algorithm can quickly achieve node distribution optimization of a mobile sensor network, increase the effective coverage
rate, and achieve global optimization of the deployment of the mobile sensor network at a relatively low cost.
