Abstract

These days mobile target tracking is considered as one of the important applications of wireless sensor networks. In this regard, the clustering structure is one of the most applicable network structures. In this paper, we suggested a new method for target tracking that makes adaptation with target mobility model. This method utilizes two tools to create adaptability which are changing the size and shape of clusters according to target mobility model. Also by combining static and dynamic clustering a semi dynamic clustering structure has been developed to implement these tools. Simulation results show that our suggested method decreases both energy consumption by decreasing clusters size when the target moves uniformly, and tracking error by changing the size and the shape of clusters according to target mobility when the target moves unpredictably.
