An Incomplete Coverage Control Based on Target Tracking Wireless Sensor Network

Coverage control is one of the most important technologies in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). In the precondition of better coverage quality, how to format optimal coverage with least sensors is a significant problem to be solved. A new incomplete coverage control based on target tracking sensor network which called mobile-constrained optimal target tracking coverage algorithm (MCOTT) is presented. In our approach, static sensors will be pre-deployed, collaborating with mobile sensors to achieve an optimal coverage which based on a target trajectory prediction model. Simulation results show that, MCOTT has more advantages like good robustness, high level of target coverage, low energy consumption. The algorithm can save the number of sensors and prolong the network lifetime effectively.
