Wireless sensor networks have been employed in a variety of applications such as military attack monitoring, wildlife animal tracking, and healthcare monitoring systems. Target tracking in wireless sensor networks can be considered a milestone of a wide range of applications to permanently report, through network sensors, the positions of a mobile target to the base station during its move across a certain path. While tracking a mobile target, a lot of open challenges rise and need to be investigated and maintained which include energy efficiency and tracking accuracy. On the other hand, cluster based architecture is of interest since it provides powerful infrastructureless algorithms for target tracking in wireless sensor networks. In this book, we propose three schemes for tracking a mobile target in wireless sensor network using cluster based architecture.Our goal is to achieve promising tracking accuracy and energy efficiency by choosing the candidate sensor nodes nearby the target to participate in tracking process while preserving the others in sleep state.
