Wireless Sensor Network: Coverage, Scheduling and Optimization

From the battlefield to everyday life sensors are being used. Now a days, Wireless Sensor Network is a very challenging and emerging reserach field. This book covers differentiated, coverage preserved, sensor scheduling model for a Heterogeneous Sensor Network. This book is written based on the PhD dissertation of the author. She worked on the applications of optimization methods under the supervision of Prof. Kendall E. Nygard of North Dakota State University, USA. The book introduces applications of Network Flow Modeling and Linear Programming method to find the solutions in a Heterogeneous Sensor Network. There are some discussion on other heuristics for coverage preservation in Wireless Sesnor Network also. This book has gives a direction of design optimal solution models using Network Flow Method. It discusses different characheristics of Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network also. This book discusses conventional solution methods to solve Network Flow Models. This book has also detail information about different properties and terms used in a Wireless Sensor Network.
