    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including vehicle-based WSNs. A road side unit (RSU) includes one or more fixed sensors covering different sectors of a designated coverage area. The RSU uses the sensors to capture sensor data that is representative of objects in the coverage area, tracks objects (e.g., vehicles) in the coverage area, and determines regions in the coverage area that are not adequately covered by the sensors (e.g., “perception gaps”). When the RSU identifies an object that is in or at a perception gap, then the RSU sends a request to that object for sensor data captured by the object's on-board sensors. The RSU obtains the sensor data from the object, and uses the obtained sensor data to complement the knowledge that the RSU (i.e., “filling the perception gaps”). Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.
