A Strategic Approach for Area Coverage and Data Collection in MWSN

In recent years, game theory has become a popular research topic in the field of wireless sensor network. It provides strategic approach to address some well known issues of mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN). Participating players or nodes either sequentially or simultaneously decide and affect the outcome of the game. Our objective is to apply this decision to find an optimum solution in area coverage and data collection issues of MWSN. Here all the sensor nodes are visualized as players and their association are designed to produce desired outcome. The contributions of this research work are (a) cooperative game based area coverage (b) network game based data collection.
