Abstract

The emergence of wireless sensor networks is counted among the most significant achievements of the late 20’s. Nowadays, by the ever increasing utilization of new technologies, accessibility of distributed processing technologies and the rising demand for these technologies in regions unreachable or hard-to-reach for humans, their application is greatly expanded. In this study, the objective application is target tracking in protected zones. In this respect, tracking and accurate position reporting of targets in the defined time unit is the main objective. Nevertheless, one of the challenges in these networks is their short lifetime. This is due to the energy limitation of the power supply in each unit. The topic of target tracking in wireless sensor networks is of great importance because on one hand, for their lack of recharge ability, sensor nodes get depleted quite quickly, while on the other hand, losing the target is a highly undesirable event that may severely hamper the functionality of the network. Thus, we are searching for a solution that minimizes tracking errors. In this paper, we propose a strategy for target tracking in wireless sensor networks that is able to generate the least possible tracking error while consuming the minimum energy.
