A Novel Energy Efficient, Distributed, Clustering Based Network Coverage Method For Enormous WSN

s : There are some limitations for wireless sensor networks that energy consumption is from the most important ones. This means energy factor has to be considered in all the sensor network activities. Coverage is one of the most important purposes of such networks. In this paper we want to enhance the coverage power of an entire network by using an energy efficient distributed method which works with a clustered network. This new coverage method is based on our last works presented for wireless sensor networks. The presented method uses FEED clustering method (our last work presented for network clustering) for partitioning the sensors in some groups. Then, some pivot nodes will manage the inter cluster coverage. Selecting just a node to act as the covering active node in each sub-area leads its neighbors to switch to standby mode and save energy. This is done in all over the network region thus energy saving happens in all over the network and consequently network life time increases as well.
