Optimal sensor deployment scheme for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks

For the high density of distributed heterogeneity nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the optimal sensor deployment is studied. A cost optimal heterogeneous sensor deployment scheme based on genetic algorithm is proposed. The cost of sensor node deployment is used as objective function for optimization computation subjected to network coverage and fault tolerance to obtain the suitable types and positions of the sensors. The algorithm can be used for boolean sensing model as well as probabilistic sensing model. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm converges fast toward the optimal solutions and reduces the cost of sensor deployment, which is feasible for heterogenous nodes deployment in WSNs.

The results demonstrate that the localization accuracy is improved effectively, while the stability and robustness are better.     

Multi-target tracking algorithm based on adaptive sampling interval in wireless sensor networks

Multi-target tracking is a hot topic of current research on wireless sensor networks (WSN). Based on adaptive sampling interval, we propose a multi-target tracking algorithm in order to save energy consumption and prevent tracking lost for WSN. We contrast the targets moving model by using the position metadata, and predicte the targets moving status based on extended Kalman filter (EKF).we adopt the probability density function (PDF) of the estimated targets to establish the tracking cluster. By defining the tracking center, we use Markov distance to quantify the election process of the main node (MN). We comput targets impact strength through the targets importance and the distance to MN node, and then use it to build tracking algorithm. We do the simulation experiment based on MATLAB, and the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can accurate predict the trajectory of the targets, and adjust the sampling interval while the targets were moving. By analyzing the experiments data, we know that the proposed algorithm can improve the tracking precision and save the energy consumption of WSN obviously.
