Abstract:
Wireless sensor network plays a vital role in remote area applications. It is very much helpful in military applications such as target detection and tracking applications. In a wireless sensor network, most of the energy is consumed during processing and communication. Each and every node in wireless sensor network is energy as well as bandwidth constraint one. By considering a heterogeneous wireless sensor network which contains powerful nodes for data aggregation/relay and more number of sensor nodes that are deployed randomly to cover the given target area, a co-operative approach is proposed to detect and monitor the path of a moving object using a minimum subset of nodes. With the use of minimum subset of nodes, network connectivity could be maintained. By increasing the number of local computation and reducing the number of global computation, reliable data transmission could be achieved. Thus the energy consumption within the network gets reduced and improves the lifetime of wireless sensor network. The proposed method is suitable for tracking both single as well as multiple targets in wireless sensor networks.
