Maximizing Lifetime of Object Tracking Sensor Networks: Maximizing the Lifetime of Object Tracking Sensors by Minimizing the Energy Expenditure Using Node-to-node Activation

Object Tracking Sensor Networks are the innovation of 20th century which has allowed various fields like Wildlife Monitoring, Environment Monitoring, Law Enforcement, etc. to gain the upper hand in accomplishing their tasks efficiently using self-powered, accurate devices to track the target object. In their line of work, these nodes expend their energy capacity to accomplish tasks and during this period, the entire set of nodes in the network run, even though they are not tracking the object of desire. At these stages, They require human intervention to replace their batteries, thereby decreasing their performance. Hence, the approach of "Maximizing the Lifetime of Object Tracking Sensor Networks using node-to-node Activation Scheme", provides an efficient method to enhance the longevity of these nodes, thereby, enhancing the network's performance in accomplishing the task.
