Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to solve the problem of RFID reader antenna deployment when an obstacle in the environment or the material itself is an obstacle. The article establishes a new reader antenna constraint model based on the rectangular obstacle RFID antenna deployment optimization environment model and the reader antenna sensing model containing Gaussian distribution noise probability and applies the improved firefly algorithm to find the optimum with coverage rate, interference degree, and load balance function as multiobjective functions. First, to obtain a uniform traversal of the target space, and a cube mapping is applied for chaos initialization. Second, a weighting model is proposed to control the speed of firefly variation and combine the variable step strategy of elite individuals to expand the movement step of elite individuals and reduce the movement step of nonelite individuals to improve population diversity. Finally, to improve the algorithm’s continuous optimality-seeking ability, a Gaussian variation operation strategy based on elite fireflies is introduced to ensure the algorithm’s optimality-seeking throughout the process.
