- Abstract
In this research paper we study the problem of mutual exclusionin the context of wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) and propose two novel approaches to solve it. The major requirements for any proposed approach in such context are: (1) the proposed approach must select the minimum number of actor nodes to act on the given event region, (2) the overlaps between acting ranges should be minimum, (3) wastage of resources should be less, and finally, whole event region must be covered by one or more than one actors as per their applicability. We have proposed two algorithms, centralized prioritized h-out-of-k mutual exclusion algorithm (CPMEA), and distributed prioritized h-out-of-k mutual exclusion algorithm (DPMEA) in this research paper. Both proposed approaches construct an actor cover set with similar optimality. The simulation results show the performance in terms of size of actor cover set, overlapped region, nonoverlapped region and maximum actor coverage degree. We have also compared our obtained results with previously proposed benchmark algorithms.
