Performance analysis of wsn in border surveillance application

Abstract

Border Surveillance is a very crucial obligatory responsibility of all the countries to secure their external boundaries using wireless sensor networks that offers a cost-effective, well-coordinated, 24/7 virtual fence that could help the Border Action Team to track and nab the infiltrators who are generally involved in terrorist activities, drugs smuggling, illegal immigration that are a threat to the country s internal security. newlineEach sensor node deployed on the vulnerable zones prone to the intrusion that may be in the form of high terrain, thick vegetation that poses a threat to the Border Action Team, can act as a helping tool for the conventional forces in dealing with the infiltration problems that most of the countries are dealing today. newlineAs Sensor networks are designed for sensing and detection of any kind of abnormal changes taking place around their region they establish coordination among themselves to send that abnormal detection report to the nearest base station which in turn alerts the Border Action Team to decisively take proper action against the intruders, especially during the nights when there is an absence of any lights across the borders. This work identifies the essential deployment scenarios, intruder s crossing path strategy and routing protocols used for determining the quality of detection by keeping in mind its network lifetime. Our proposed work is to test its effectiveness on land, underground and on the sea if the intruder prefers these routes using various analytical and simulation scenarios. newline
