Abstract
Abstract This paper addresses the maximum network lifetime problem in wireless sensor networks. In this problem, the purpose is to schedule a set of wireless sensors, keeping them connected and guaranteeing that all targets are covered, while network lifetime is maximized. Two variants of this problem are considered; in the first case it is assumed that a single sink (base station) is available, the second case considers the presence of several sinks. To solve the problem, a hybrid Column Generation-GRASP heuristic is proposed. The method is shown to be able to find optimal or near optimal solutions efficiently in both cases.
