无线传感器网络的节点功耗研究

近年来,无线传感器网络因其低成本、低功耗、分布式和自组织等特点,得到了广泛的关注。因网络中节点能量受限,因此节点功耗研究是一个关键问题。无线传感器网络中节点的基本任务是数据的采集、处理以及与其它节点间的通信。由于节点在同一时间可能感知到多个节点,而与这些节点通信的数据就会形成一个队列。节点与邻节点进行数据通信的同时,节点能量损耗分配也形成了一个队列。本文中,我们提出了一个数学队列模型,利用最优解来优化传感器节点的能量消耗。仿真结果表明,所提出的模型在能量损耗方面具有良好的性能,能够有效延长网络生命周期。

Efficient flow‐control algorithm cooperating with energy allocation scheme for solar‐powered WSNs

Recently, solar energy emerged as a feasible supplement to battery power for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which are expected to operate for long periods. Since solar energy can be harvested periodically and permanently, solar‐powered WSNs can use the energy more efficiently for various network‐wide performances than traditional battery‐based WSNs of which aim is mostly to minimize the energy consumption for extending the network lifetime. However, using solar power in WSNs requires a different energy management from battery‐based WSNs since solar power is a highly varying energy supply. Therefore, firstly we describe a time‐slot‐based energy allocation scheme to use the solar energy optimally, based on expectation model for harvested solar energy. Then, we propose a flow‐control algorithm to maximize the amount of data collected by the network, which cooperates with our energy allocation scheme. Our algorithms run on each node in a distributed manner using only local information of its neighbors, which is a suitable approach for scalable WSNs. We implement indoor and outdoor testbeds of solar‐powered WSN and demonstrate the efficiency of our approaches on them. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

IRS: application reconfiguration scheme for wireless sensor networks

Application reconfiguration is essential to achieving flexibility and adaptability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) used in environment monitoring. In this paper, we present an integrated reconfiguration scheme (IRS) for implementing environment adaptive application reconfiguration (EAAR) in WSNs. In our scheme, application reconfiguration is implemented with the push‐based paradigm for densely distributed nodes and the cluster‐based hybrid reconfiguration (CHR) paradigm for sparsely distributed nodes. We demonstrate the energy‐efficiency and scalability of our scheme by analyzing the energy consumption based on a randomly deployed sensor network. Moreover, we derive the density threshold of reconfiguration nodes (RNs) for determining if the nodes are densely or sparsely distributed, and choose the mode of operation for IRS. We use extensive simulation experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

GWO‐C: Grey wolf optimizer‐based clustering scheme for WSNs

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a prominent technology that could assist in the fourth industrial revolution. Sensor nodes present in the WSNs are functioned by a battery. It is impossible to recharge or replace the battery, hence energy is the most important resource of WSNs. Many techniques have been devised and used over the years to conserve this scarce resource of WSNs. Clustering has turned out to be one of the most efficient methods for this purpose. This paper intends to propose an efficient technique for election of cluster heads in WSNs to increase the network lifespan. For the achievement of this task, grey wolf optimizer (GWO) has been employed. In this paper, the general GWO has been modified to cater to the specific purpose of cluster head selection in WSNs. The objective function for the proposed formulation considers average intra‐cluster distance, sink distance, residual energy, and CH balancing factor. The simulations are carried out in diverse conditions. On comparison of the proposed protocol, ie, GWO‐C protocol with some well‐known clustering protocols, the obtained results prove that the proposed protocol outperforms with respect to the consumption of the energy, throughput, and the lifespan of the network. The proposed protocol forms energy‐efficient and scalable clusters.

Systematic energy-balanced cooperative transmission scheme in wireless sensor networks

Energy efficiency is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks(WSNs).In order to minimize energy consumption and balance energy dissipation throughout the whole network,a systematic energy-balanced cooperative transmission scheme in WSNs is proposed in this paper.This scheme studies energy efficiency in systematic view.For three main steps,namely nodes clustering,data aggregation and cooperative transmission,corresponding measures are put forward to save energy.These measures are well designed and tightly coupled to achieve optimal performance.A half-controlled dynamic clustering method is proposed to avoid concentrated distribution of cluster heads caused by selecting cluster heads randomly and to get high spatial correlation between cluster nodes.Based on clusters built,data aggregation,with the adoption of dynamic data compression,is performed by cluster heads to get better use of data correlation.Cooperative multiple input multiple output(CMIMO) with an energy-balanced cooperative cluster heads selection method is proposed to transmit data to sink node.System model of this scheme is also given in this paper.And simulation results show that,compared with other traditional schemes,the proposed scheme can efficiently distribute the energy dissipation evenly throughout the network and achieve higher energy efficiency,which leads to longer network lifetime span.By adopting orthogonal space time block code(STBC),the optimal number of the cooperative transmission nodes varying with the percentage of cluster heads is also concluded,which can help to improve energy efficiency by choosing the optimal number of cooperative nodes and making the most use of CMIMO.

Fuzzy-based techniques for clustering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs): Recent advances,challenges, and future directions

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network of tiny sensors deployed to collect data. These sensors are powered with batteries that have limited power. Recharging and/or replacement of these batteries, however, are not always feasible. Over the past few years, WSN applications are being deployed in diverse fields such as military, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and so on. With the ever-increasing applications of WSNs, improving the energy efficiency of the WSNs still remains to be a challenge. Applying fuzzy logic to the problem of clustering exploits the uncertainty associated with the factors that affect the lifetime of these sensors and enables the development of models that would improve their performance in real-world applications. We present a comprehensive review of various fuzzy-based techniques for clustering in WSNs whose main goal is to optimize energy usage in WSNs while simultaneously improving their overall performance.
