Abstract

In this letter, we propose a novel sleep-wakeup mechanism, named band coverage scheme, for wireless sensor networks, with the objective of achieving high energy efficiency and high successful rate of event/intrusion detections in an area with a relatively large width. Unlike the classic barrier coverage, which typically adopts a certain type of randomized sleep-wakeup algorithm, the band coverage scheme divides the monitored region into a number of narrow bands and makes the sensors inside different bands sleep and wakeup in sequence. Preliminary results show that, band coverage has merits in saving energy consumption and easing information integration while ensuring a high successful rate in intrusion detection.
