On Connected Target k-Coverage in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract: Coverage and connectivity are two important performance evaluation indices for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, we focus on the connected target k-coverage (CTCk) problem in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSNs). A centralized connected target k-coverage algorithm (CCTCk) and a distributed connected target k-coverage algorithm (DCTCk) are proposed so as to generate connected cover sets for energy-efficient connectivity and coverage maintenance. To be specific, our proposed algorithms ai… Show more

“…By studying the above network model, it can be determine that in order to realize mutual communication between network links, it is necessary to detect each other within the transmission distance of the network node and the carrier sense distance [16,17]. To calculate the transmission distance of each node, we need to calculate the maximum range of the generating node and receiving node.…”

“…Further, they presented two distributed heuristics: the energy efficiency first scheme (EEFS) and remaining energy first scheme (REFS). In [56], authors have proposed a centralized algorithm called CCTC and a distributed algorithm called DCTC for connected targetcoverage problem in heterogeneous WSNs. Both algorithms construct connected cover sets to achieve connectivity and coverage in an energy efficient way.…”

“…However, the authors do not describe how nodes should collaborate to maintain the coverage. Though centralized and distributed connected target K -coverage algorithms for the heterogeneous wireless sensor networks are proposed in [ 23 ], there is no scheduling mechanism to improve the network lifetime and to maintain the target coverage. A genetic algorithm-based sensor deployment algorithm is designed in [ 24 ] to increase the coverage of the homogeneous WSN.…”
