Node deployment is one of the important problems in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Concerning the problem of energy hole in the process of node employment, a Node Redeployment Based on the Firefly Algorithm (NRBFA) strategy was proposed. Firstly, the k-means algorithm was used to cluster nodes and the redundant nodes were introduced into the sensor network where nodes are randomly deployed. Then, the Firefly Algorithm (FA) was used to move the redundant nodes to share the load of Cluster Heads (CHs) and balance the energy consumption of nodes in the network. Finally, the redundant nodes were updated after finding the target node by reusing the FA. In the proposed strategy, the reduction of moving distances of nodes and the decrease of the network energy consumption were achieved through moving the redundant nodes effectively. Experimental results show that the proposed strategy can alleviate the "energy hole" problem effectively. Compared with the partition node redeployment algorithm based on virtual force, the proposed strategy reduces the complexity of the algorithm, and can better improve the energy efficiency of the network, balance the network load, as well as prolong the network lifetime by nearly 10 times.
