In this paper, we study the Maximum lifetime Target Coverage problem (MTC), which is to maximize the network lifetime while guaranteeing the complete coverage of all the targets. ...
—To make a network last beyond the lifetime of an individual sensor, redundant sensors must be deployed. What sleep-wakeup schedule can then be used for individual sensors so tha...
