In order to efficiently use node’s energy and prolong node’s life time in wireless sensor networks (WSN), this paper presents a low redundancy and high coverage (LRHC) node scheduling algorithm. In LRHC, based on the characteristics of the cellular, the WSN network is divided into a number of cellular to help the selection of active nodes. A new triangle cover method has been theoretically analyzed and proposed to solve the coverage holes problem for the first time. In addition, during the scheduling, a new active node ...
