WSN based intruder detection system based on Territorial Predator Scent Marking Algorithm (TPSMA) sensor node placement scheme

An effective sensor node placement in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the ways to provide a WSN with maximum coverage, maximum connectivity, minimum deployment cost and minimum energy consumption. Territorial Predator Scent Marking Algorithm (TPSMA) has been recently proposed by the authors. This paper presents an intruder detection system based on TPSMA. The performance of the TPSMA intruder detection system are evaluated based on coverage ratio and connectivity probability through simulation and hardware experimentation. The results show that the simulation and hardware experimental results are of similar trend with some expected differences due to various factors.
