Optimizing the deployment of broadcast nodes in Wi-Fi detector networks is crucial for enhancing the network's service life and reducing construction costs. This research proposes a novel approach that employs the multi-objective mother foraging algorithm to strategically deploy broadcast nodes in Wi-Fi detector networks, combining the fields of sensor networks and intelligent computation. The proposed method utilizes the multi-objective mother foraging algorithm to optimize the placement of all broadcast nodes in the network, aiming to maximize the overall service life while minimizing the number of broadcast nodes required. Additionally, the research introduces three innovative partial optimization operations to enhance the algorithm's efficiency. Simulation tests conducted on various networks with diverse sensor scales validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
