Abstract

Moving target tracking of sensor networks is an important application. The sensor nodes cooperate in the networks to discover the target, and the target’s perceptual information is feeded back to the user. In order to effectively reduce the network energy consumption and improve the tracking quality, a target tracking protocol is proposed based on two-stage sleep scheduling. The whole tracking process is divided into two stages in the protocol. According to the different requirements of node density, the different sleep scheduling mechanism is adopted. In this paper, the proposed protocol is further optimized to ensure the tracking quality while minimizing system energy consumption. Finally, the validity of the proposed protocol was verified with 36 sensor nodes.
