Abstract: Coverage is one of the most important issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Given a randomly deployed WSN, how to achieve the both purposes of maintaining full coverage and maximizing network lifetime has been received much attention in recent years. This paper considers the area coverage problem for a WSN where each sensor has variable sensing radius. A Weighted Voronoi Diagram (WVD) is proposed as a tool for determining the sensing region of each sensor node according the remaining energy in a distributed manner. To maximize the network lifetime, techniques for balancing energy consumption of sensors are further proposed. Simulation results reveal that the proposed energy-balanced coverage mechanism outperforms the existing works in terms of network lifetime.
