Information Content-Based Sensor Selection and Transmission Power Adjustment For Collaborative Target Tracking
Abstract:
For target tracking applications, wireless sensor nodes provide accurate information since they can be deployed and operated near the phenomenon. These sensing devices have the opportunity of collaboration among themselves to improve the target localization and tracking accuracies. An energy-efficient collaborative target tracking paradigm is developed for wireless sensor networks ( !"s#. $n addition, a novel approach to energy savings in !"s is devised in the information-controlled transmission power ($%T&# ad'ustment, where nodes with more information use higher transmission powers than those that are less informative to share their target state information with the neighboring nodes.

Algorithm !escri"tion:
The $%T& scheme is embodied in the power ad'ustment logic module in which a node consults the mutual information list inde* of the sensor node and the preset power ad'ustment pattern, and subse+uently, decides on the transmission power for communicating its information state and information matri* denominations to the network.
