Abstract

Aiming at the problems that WSN faces, we proposed a coordination method for target tracking based on multiagent in this paper. The sensor field is divided dynamically into several parts in order to perform distributed tracking. Sensors try to form dynamic coalition in each field for fulfilling tasks. When a target move to the sensing filed, the sensor nodes begin to forming coalition and then negotiations come on. Utilizing multiagent technology can make good use of each sensor nodespsila limited energy and perform tasks coordinately.
