Abstract: Addressing the coverage problem is not a complete set of tasks for solving data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks. Since the collected information of each sensor node to reach the base station the deployment of sensors plays a critical role in WSN. This paper addresses m connected coverage problem which covers all the given targets and provide a complete connectivity between the sensors for effective data aggregation of data to the base station. A widespread Harmony Search Algorithm which is a metaheuristic algorithm for solving optimization problems is imposed in this sensor deployment concept. The results of the proposed algorithm have been compared with other existing techniques and the results shows that proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms.
