            Abstract : 
This paper aims to introduce some key parameters for the tracking application in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, the Nearest Closer protocol has been implemented in J-sim simulation platform, and consequently some useful analysis results among the Coverage, Reliability and Lifetime have been obtained. Based on these results, a coverage optimization model is proposed.
