Abstract: Object tracking is one of the most important applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Many recent articles have been dedicated to localization of objects; however, few of these articles were concentrated on the reliability of network data reporting along with objects localization. In this work, the authors propose an efficient data reporting method for object tracking in WSNs. This paper aims to achieve both minimum energy consumption in reporting operation and balanced energy consumption among sensor nodes for WSN lifetime extension. Furthermore, data reliability is considered in the authors' model where the sensed data can reach the sink node in a more reliable way. This work first formulates the problem as 0/1 Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem, and then proposes a SWARM intelligence for solving the optimization problem. Through simulation, the performance of proposed method to report information about the detected objects to the sink is compared with the previous works related to the authors' topic, such as LR-based object tracking algorithm, SEB, EPWSN, and ACO.
