Energy-Efficient Connected Coverage of Discrete Targets in Wireless Sensor Networks

چکیده
A major concern in wireless sensor networks is to maximize network lifetime (in terms of rounds) while maintaining a high quality of services (QoS) at each round such as target coverage and network connectivity. Due to the power scarcity of sensors, a mechanism that can efficiently utilize energy has a great impact on extending network lifetime. Most existing works concentrate on scheduling sensors between sleep and active modes to maximize network lifetime while maintaining target/area coverage and network connectivity. This paper generalizes the sleep/active mode by adjusting sensing range to maximize total number of rounds and presents a distributed heuristic to address this problem.

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) ...
