An Energy-Efficient Tracking Methodology for Continuous Objects in WSNs

초록/요약

Because the non-rechargeable small sensors distributed in dynamic areas affects the lifetime of wireless sensor networks, the research has been actively done to increase energy efficiency by reducing the power consumption of the sensors. One important challenge in this research area is to track continuous object efficiently. Efficient and accurate detection and tracking of continuous objects such as fire and hazardous biochemical material diffusion requires extensive communications between nodes in wireless sensor networks. To improve energy efficiency, previous approaches are to reduce the number of message transfer to the sink node by selecting some nodes among the boundary nodes of continuous objects without consideration of duplicated messages In this paper, we propose a Data Aggregation method to reduce the number of report messages and apply piecewise Quadratic Polynomial Interpolation algorithm to find the boundary points precisely. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the number of report messages to the sink node and also improves boundary accuracy.
