Dynamic Cluster Members Scheduling for Target Tracking in Sensor Networks

 Dynamic Cluster Members Scheduling for Target Tracking in Sensor Networks

 The sensor scheduling for energy-efficient target tracking with high performance in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a dilemma problem. By analyzing the intrinsic relationship between tracking performance and energy consumption, we cast the scheduling problem of WSN as the optimal policy problem of partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), and propose a dynamic cluster members scheduling (DCMS) algorithm to solve the tradeoff between tracking performance and energy consumption.
