Lost Target Recovery in Wireless Sensor Network Using Tracking

Abstract

Among vast number of applications of Wireless Sensor Networks, target tracking is considered as one of the important application. The target to be tracked may go unnoticed due to problems like node failures, communication failures amongst nodes and localization errors. Recovery mechanism needs to be initiated to find the exact location of the lost target. In this paper, we are proposing an energy efficient and fast recovery mechanism. From the performance comparison with existing algorithm, it is evident that our proposed approach is quicker in recovery of lost target.
