Summary In wireless sensor network (WSN), it is a complex task to track the target when it is moving randomly in an unknown environment. It also becomes difficult to cover a complete searching area because of the limited searching range and energy of sensor nodes as they are few in number. The author proposes a distributed energy efficient tracking in a hybrid WSN (DEETH) to track a randomly moving target in an unknown searching. Hybrid WSN that is proposed has both static sensor nodes (SSNs) and mobile sensor nodes (MSNs), which are deployed in the searching area. The MSNs move collectively using particle swarm techniques to search a target. The SSNs are deployed for tracking the presence of a target and giving this information to the base station. As per the information given by SSN, MSNs travel to the target and track it. Simulation results prove that proposed technique successfully tracks the target using less number of nodes and also less amount of energy.
