Popis: Achieving energy efficient monitoring of targets is a critical issue in sensor networks and, thus various power efficient coverage algorithms have been proposed. These algorithms divide the sensors into monitor sets, where each monitor set is able to cover all the targets. However, even the number of monitor sets is set to 3, the considered problem has been proven to be NP-hard. In this paper, we propose a randomized and efficient coverage algorithm that produces disjoint monitor sets, i.e., monitor sets with no common sensors. The monitor sets are activated successively and only the sensor nodes from the current active set are responsible for monitoring all the target nodes, while all other nodes are in a low-energy sleep mode. Our algorithm can generate a solution with guaranteed probability \( 1 - \varepsilon \, (0 < \varepsilon < 1) \). Simulation results are presented to verify our approach.
