A novel sleep/wake protocol for target coverage based on trust evaluation for a clustered wireless sensor network

The advancement in the field of nanotechnology and its impact on processor technology has made the wireless communication more powerful and popular. Coverage and lifetime maximisation are two major challenges. The node scheduling approaches address these problems: 1) achieving the connectivity and desired coverage while keeping the optimal nodes in active state; 2) resolving conflicts while determining the nodes to keep in sleep state; 3)...
