Abstract :
In this paper, we present a hormone based tracking strategy called Hormone based Activation (HA) for mobile target tracking in wireless sensor networks inspired by the bio-endocrine system. Hormone messages are used in sensor networks to coordinate sensor nodes for mobile target tracking in a self-adaptive way. Three kinds of hormones are introduced into sensor network for mobile target tracking: Base Hormone (BH),Wakeup Hormone (WH) and Sleep Hormone (SH).Based on different hormone messages, sensor nodes can choose to be asleep or awake in order to get good tracking results with less energy consumed. Comparative experiment shows that our strategy needs fewer nodes to wake up and has a much higher usage ratio of sensor nodes than other tracking strategies.
