This paper presents an adaptive sensor activation for target tracking in wireless sensor networks by dynamically adjusting the range of sensor selective activation instead of fixed one. A closed-loop control algorithm for the range of adaptive sensor activation is designed according to the online feedback of the tracking quality. The failed tracking case can also be handled by the proposed algorithm. Extensive simulation results show that the adaptive sensor activation achieves higher performance in terms of tracking effect and energy efficiency.
