Optimal connectivity for target coverage using prediction filter in wireless sensor networks

Deployment of sensor networks has traditionally been a significant interest during the most recent period of years. Coverage problem is a vital and primary issue in sensor networks. We propose the r-coverage to implement the target/point coverage problem in this paper. We make use of Reduced Minimum Spanning Tree (R-MST) to construct the topology, so that less packet loss and less delay occur with increase in the lifetime of the network. Experimental results have been performed using simulation on existing FST and R-MST proposed method. The obtained result shows that our approach achieves better throughput and packet delivery ratio over the FST topology with random node deployment in wireless sensor network.
