A distributed wakening based target tracking protocol for wireless sensor networks

IEEE;IEEE Turkey Section;TUBITAK;Intel Corporation;Bogazici University9th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing, ISPDC 2010 -- 7 July 2010 through 9 July 2010 -- Istanbul -- 81541We propose a two layer protocol for tracking fast targets in sensor networks. At the lower layer, the Distributed Spanning Tree Algorithm (DSTA) [12] partitions the network into clusters with controllable diameter and constructs a spanning tree backbone of clusterheads rooted at the sink. At the upper layer, we propose a target tracking algorithm which wakes clusters of nodes by using the estimated trajectory beforehand, which is different from existing studies [3] in which target can be detected only when the nodes close to the target are awake. We provide the simulation results and show the effect of fore-waking operation by comparing error and miss ratios of existing approaches with our proposed target tracking algorithm. © 2010 IEEE
