Energy Efficient Monitoring in Sensor Networks

Improving Energy-Efficient Target Coverage in Visual Sensor Networks

Target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. The coverage should be accompanied with an efficient use of energy in order to increase the network lifetime. In this paper, we address the maximum lifetime for visual sensor networks (MLV) problem by maximizing the network lifetime while covering all the targets. For this purpose, we develop a simulated annealing (SA) ...

Energy Efficient Residual Energy Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks

A crucial issue in the management of sensor networks is the continuous monitoring of residual energy level of the sensors in the network. With the large number of sensors in a 10 typical network, the energy monitoring process can itself be very energy intensive. In this article, we propose a hierarchical approach to construct a continuous energy map of a sensor network. Our method consists of a...
