Energy-efficient detection 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 target detection in sensor networks using line proxies

One of the fundamental and important operations in sensor networks is sink–source matching, i.e. target detection. Target detection is about how a sink finds the location of source nodes observing the event of interest (i.e. target activity). This operation is very important in many sensor network applications such as military battlefield and environment habitats. The mobility of both targets a...

Reliable and energy efficient cooperative detection in wireless sensor networks

The efficiency of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is dependent on the level of event detection reliability it achieves, and the associated consumed amount of energy. In this work, the potential performance improvement gained by using a routing metric that reflects the quality of links in terms of detection reliability is investigated. As a first main contribution, we derive the expression of su...
