INTRODUCTION

IN recent years, wireless sensor networks have found rapidly growing applications in
areas such as automated data collection, surveillance, and environmental monitoring. One
important use of sensor networks is the tracking of a mobile target (point source) by the
network. Mobile target tracking has a number of practical applications, including robotic
navigation, search-rescue, wildlife monitoring, and autonomous surveillance. Typically,
target tracking involves two steps. First, it needs to estimate or predict target positions
from noisy sensor data measurements. Second, it needs to control mobile sensor tracker
to follow or capture the moving target. In this paper, we study the problem of mobile
target positioning in a sensor network that consists of stationary sensors and a mobile
sensor. The goal is to estimate the target position and to control the mobile sensor for
tracking the moving target.
Objective:
To further improve the system performance, we propose a weighted tracking algorithm
by using the measurement information more efficiently.

LITERATURE SURVEY
The challenge of target tracking and mobile sensor navigation arises when a mobile target
does not follow a predictable path. Successful solutions require a real-time location
estimation algorithm and an effective navigation control method. Target tracking can be
viewed as a sequential location estimation problem. Typically, the target is a signal
emitter whose transmissions are received by a number of distributed sensors for location
estimation. There exist a number target localization approaches-based various
measurement models such as received signal strength (RSS), time of arrival (TOA), time
difference of arrival (TDOA), signal angle of arrival (AOA), and their combinations. For
target tracking, Kalman filter was proposed in, where a geometric-assisted predictive
location tracking algorithm can be effective even without sufficient signal sources. Li et
al. investigated the use of extended Kalman filter in TOA measurement model for target
tracking. Particle filtering has also been applied with RSS measurement model under
correlated noise to achieve high accuracy.
Zou and Chakrabarty studied a distributed mobility management scheme for target
tracking, where sensor node movement decisions were made by considering the tradeoff
among target tracking quality improvement, energy consumption, loss of connectivity,
and coverage. Rao and Kesidis further considered the cost of node communications and
movement as part of the performance tradeoff.
Problem Statement:
In this paper the problem of tracking signal-emitting mobile targets using navigated
mobile sensors based on signal reception. Since the mobile target’s maneuver is
unknown, the mobile sensor controller utilizes the measurement collected by a wireless
sensor network in terms of the mobile target signal’s time of arrival (TOA).
