Abstract

This paper presents a general view of the target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) with proper deployment of it. Target tracking task in WSN can be more accurately and efficiently accomplished, given the circumstance where the WSN is more proper deployed, for example, the coverage with clearer border and less holes, sensors with less movement, and connectivity well preserved. To prove this thought, several protocols of target tracking and various aspects of deployment in WSN are investigated.
