Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an efficient energy-aware algorithm to enhance the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSN) by i) organizing/clustering the sensor nodes into disjoint cover sets where each cover set is capable of monitoring all the targets of the region of interest and ii) scheduling these cover sets successively/periodically. This study differs from previous works for the following reasons: i) it achieves near optimal solutions compared to the optimal ones obtained by the exact method and ii) unlike existing algorithms that construct gradually cover sets one after the other, our algorithm builds the different sets in parallel. Simulation results show the efficiency of our algorithm.
