Solving Reliable Coverage In Fault Tolerant Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

With the strong push from applications, fault tolerant and energy efficient property of wireless sensor network has gradually become a hot point. Based on the heuristic method used to generate minimum covers, a novel scheme namely reliable coverage scheme is proposed to solve the reliable coverage problem within the cluster in a hierarchical structured network. Simulations show that this scheme is able to efficiently utilize energy to prolong network lifetime while at the same time keeping missed monitoring at a low level
