Abstract
Achieving optimal field coverage is a significant challenge in various sensor network applications. In some specific situations, the sensor field (target) may have coverage gaps due to the random deployment of sensors; hence, the optimized level of target coverage cannot be obtained. Given a set of sensors in the plane, the target coverage problem is to separate the sensor into different groups and provide them specific time intervals, so that the coverage lifetime can be maximized. Here, the constraint is that the network should be connected. Presently, target coverage problem is widely studied due to its lot of practical application in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). This paper focuses on target coverage problem along with the minimum energy usage of the network so that the lifetime of the whole network can be increased. Since constructing a minimum connected target coverage problem is known to be NP-Complete, so several heuristics, as well as approximation algorithms, have been proposed. Here, we propose a heuristic for connected target coverage problem in WSN. We compare the performance of our heuristic with the existing heuristic, which states that our algorithm performs better than the existing algorithm for connected target coverage problem. Again, we have implemented the 2-connected target coverage properties for the network which provide fault tolerance as well as robustness to the network. So, we propose one algorithm which gives the target coverage along with 2-connectivity.
