Abstract

Coverage-preserving and lifetime-prolonging are essential issues for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Providing full sensing coverage in a security-sensitive area is necessary for practical applications such as security surveillances or military investigations. In order to prolong the duration of full sensing coverage, we propose an Energy-aware and Coverage-presenting Hierarchical Routing (ECHR) protocol for randomly deployed WSNs. The ECHR protocol accommodates energy-balancing and coverage-preserving while selecting one cluster head for each round. The power consumption of radio transmission and residual energy over the network are taken into account when determining an optimal route for a packet. The simulation results show that ECHR prolongs the duration with full sensing coverage, which provides up to 85% extra lifetime comparing with other protocols.
