Energy Efficient Cluster-Based Target Tracking Strategy
- Date Issued:
- 2008
- Summary:
- This research proposes a cluster-based target tracking strategy for one moving object using wireless sensor networks. The sensor field is organized in 3 hierarchal levels. 1-bit message is sent when a node detects the target. Otherwise the node stays silent. Since in wireless sensor network nodes have limited computational resources, limited storage resources, and limited battery, the code for predicting the target position should be simple, and fast to execute. The algorithm proposed in this research is simple, fast, and utilizes all available detection data for estimating the location of the target while conserving energy. lbis has the potential of increasing the network life time. A simulation program is developed to study the impact of the field size and density on the overall performance of the strategy. Simulation results show that the strategy saves energy while estimating the location of the target with an acceptable error margin.
