Abstract:Energy saving and the tracking performance are two important issues in moving target tracking. This paper presents a Voronoi structure-based nodes selection algorithm, which constructs a network model based on the property of Voronoi, and selects sensor nodes which are more close to the target to participate in tracking. This paper also presents a nodes scheduling mechanism, which minimizes the number of awaking nodes with tracking quality guarantee. Finally, a set of simulation experiments are made to analyze the effects of various parameters on the network performance. Experimental results show the excellent performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of energy saving and tracking quality.
