Abstract

Target tracking is one of important applications of WSNs. In this paper, we propose a hexagon-based energy efficient scheduling protocol for target tracking (HEES) in WSNs. In this strategy, we use Hexagon idea to predict the next location and then form a dynamic cluster to track a target. And a new Sleep/Wake-up schedule method is used to improve the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the proposed method has better performance in energy efficiency which leads to a long-term monitoring and is suitable to target’s random movement.
