Abstract

In order to efficiently use node’s energy and prolong node’s life time in wireless sensor networks (WSN), this paper presents a low redundancy and high coverage (LRHC) node scheduling algorithm. In LRHC, based on the characteristics of the cellular, the WSN network is divided into a number of cellular to help the selection of active nodes. A new triangle cover method has been theoretically analyzed and proposed to solve the coverage holes problem for the first time. In addition, during the scheduling, a new active node will be the substitute for the active node near to death, which guarantees the stability of network coverage quality. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LRHC algorithm reduces the required nodes to satisfy a certain coverage quality, and improves the life time and ensures the high coverage quality of the network compared with some existing algorithms.
