Most of the existing works on node scheduling mainly concentrate on nodes which have only one sensor, and they regard a node and its sensor modules as a whole to manage sleep scheduling. Few works involve the sensed modules scheduling of the sensor nodes, which have multiple sensors. However, some of the sensed modules (such as video sensor) consume a lot of energy. Therefore, they have less energy efficiency for multisensory networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed and energy-balanced multisensory scheduling strategy (EBMS), which considers the scheduling of both the communication modules and the sensed modules for each node in target tracking WSNs. In EBMS, the network is organized as clustering structures. Each cluster head adaptively assigns a sleep time to its cluster members according to the position of the members. Energy-balanced multisensory scheduling strategy also proposes an energy balanced parameter to balance the energy consumption of each node in the network. In addition, multi-hop coordination scheme is proposed to find the optimal cooperation among clusters to maximize the energy conservation. Experimental results show that EBMS outperformed the state-of-the-art approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18103585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,23]],"date-time":"2018-10-23T08:43:36Z","timestamp":1540284216000},"page":"3585","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Energy-Balanced Multisensory Scheduling for Target Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Juan","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Zhang, Z., Shu, L., Zhu, C., and Mukherjee, M.
