A Study on Threads Detection and Tracking Systems for Military Applications using WSNs

Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications it is critical to accurately determine the location of the distributed sensor nodes in order to report the data that is geographically meaningful. Since localization and tracking algorithms have been attracting research and development attention recently, a wide range of existing approaches regarding this topic have emerged. Tracking and localization algorithms have been proposed for different WSN applications including civilian, industrial and safety applications. A few research studies focused on tracking Threats through military applications, such as detecting and tracking Threats through border security area. Therefore this paper studies and investigates the existing WSN based tracking and localization algorithms and summarizes the potential requirements for localizing and tracking Threats through military applications. The existing systems are categorized and discussed. A critical analysis is found in this paper, in order to guide the developer to design and implement a WSN-based tracking system for military applications.

Energy Efficient and Reliable Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensors Networks

“…With the development of efficient wireless communication and the progress of electronic information technology, the wireless sensor network (WSN) is widely used in various fields because of its low cost, miniaturization and multi-function characteristics [1][2][3][4]. However, in most cases, the nodes in WSN are powered by batteries and are usually deployed in unmanned outdoor or more dangerous environments, which make it inconvenient to replenish energy.…”
