| Abstract | Wireless Sensor Networks are emerging as a key sensing technology, with diverse military and civilian applications. In these networks, a large number of sensors perform distributed sensing of a target field. Each sensor is a small battery-operated device that can sense events of interest in its sensing range and can communicate with neighboring sensors. A sensor cover is a subset of the set of all sensors such that every point in the target field is in the interior of the sensing ranges of at least \$k\$ different sensors in the subset, where k is a given positive integer. The lifetime of the network is the time from the point the network starts operation until the set of all sensors with non-zero remaining energy does not constitute a sensor cover. An important goal in sensor networks is to design a schedule, that is, a sequence of sensor covers to activate in every time slot, so as to maximize the lifetime of the network. In this paper, we design a polynomial-time, distributed algorithm for maximizing the lifetime of the network and prove that its lifetime is at most a factor O(log n * log nB) lower than the maximum possible lifetime, where n is the number of sensors and B is an upper bound on the initial energy of each sensor. Our algorithm does not require knowledge of the locations of nodes or directional information, which is difficult to obtain in sensor networks. Each sensor only needs to know the distances between adjacent nodes in its transmission range and their sensing radii. In every slot, the algorithm first assigns a weight to each node that is exponential in the fraction of its initial energy that has been used up so far. Then, in a distributed manner, it finds a O(log n) approximate minimum weight sensor cover which it activates in the slot. Our simulations reveal that our algorithm substantially outperforms several existing lifetime maximization algorithms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
