چکیده

Wireless sensor network field has drawn attraction of researchers for its diversified applications. Due to the adhoc in nature of sensor network, conventional wireless network algorithms can not be applied directly. There are lot of problems which affect badly network performance and quality of service. Among these problems, lack of good coverage of network area is a major frustrating issue. Sensor network coverage issue becomes more complicated when there are different types of sensors exist in a same field. If the network nodes vary in their properties coverage problem becomes more complicated. In [9], the authors gave an upper and lower bound of coverage using Voronoi diagram. But they only considered a homogeneous network. Their solution becomes challenging for heterogeneous network. In our paper we give a solution to handle heterogeneous sensor network where sensors are not isotropic.

Three Dimensional Localization of an Unknown Target Using Two Heterogeneous Sensors

Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks consist of some different types of sensor nodes deployed in a particular area. Different sensor types can measure different quantity of a source and using the combination of different measurement techniques, the minimum number of necessary sensors is reduced in localization problems. In this paper, we focus on the single source localization in a heterogene...

Representing a Model for Improving Connectivity and Power Dissipation in Wireless Networks Using Mobile Sensors

Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...

Unauthenticated event detection in wireless sensor networks using sensors co-coverage

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer inherent packet redundancy since each point within the network area is covered by more than one sensor node. This phenomenon, which is known as sensors co-coverage, is used in this paper to detect unauthenticated events. Unauthenticated event broadcasting in a WSN imposes network congestion, worsens the packet loss rate, and increases the network energy con...

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) ...
