Abstract

Abstract: An application of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is to localize and track a moving target. To propose an effective scheme for tracking the target is a very challenging task. For any tracking scheme, the main challenge is to keep the energy consumption minimal and to get very good tracking accuracy. In this paper, we present a dynamic cluster based target tracking scheme with the adaptive cluster size. The proposed scheme tries to optimize the energy consumed in target tracking. It is observed that the proposed scheme achieves a better tracking accuracy and requires less energy consumption as compared to the existing approaches.
