Abstract

Target tracking systems, consisting of thousands of low-cost sensor nodes, have been used in many application domains such as battlefield surveillance, wildlife monitoring and border security. These applications need to meet certain real-time constraints in response to transient events, such as fast-moving targets. While the real-time performance is a major concern in these applications, it should be compatible with other important system properties such as energy consumption and accuracy. Hence, it is desirable to have the ability to exploit the tradeoffs among them. This work presents the real-time design and analysis of VigilNet, a large-scale sensor network system which tracks, detects and classifies targets in a timely and energy efficient manner. Based on a deadline partition method and theoretical derivations of each sub-deadline, we are able to make guided engineering decisions to meet the end-to-end tracking deadline. To confirm our design and obtain an empirical understanding of these tradeoffs, we invest significant efforts to perform large-scale simulations with 10,000 nodes as well as a field test with 200 XSM motes, running VigilNet. The results from both analysis and evaluation can serve as general design guidelines to build similar real-time systems.
