摘要：One of the major challenges of Wireless Sensor Network is Target Coverage Problem which is concerned with random deployment of sensor nodes for monitoring the specific targets for maximum duration. These small sized sensor nodes have limited resources in terms of energy, memory, computational speed and bandwidth; and can�t withstand extreme environmental conditions. Therefore, more number of sensor nodes are deployed than the specific requirements in order to improve fault tolerance of the sensor network. However, this high redundancy of sensor nodes can lead to excessive energy wastage. Since the nodes have limited energy resources and each sensor node requires a specific amount of energy to monitor a target, judicious energy management becomes an important concern of the Target Coverage Problem. In this paper we propose a protocol for Target Coverage Management with the aim to minimize consumption of energy.
