Maximizing the lifetime of energy‐constrained cooperative spectrum sensing sensor network

Adding the cognitive capability to wireless sensor networks allows the sensors to monitor the spectrum and identify the spectrum holes to operate in different frequencies according to the radio environment which result in better spectrum utilization. Spectrum sensing is a main component in any cognitive radio network. In this paper, we propose a new cooperative sensing scheme based on energy detection for cognitive sensor networks which is constrained by the energy limitation of the wireless sensor elements. The proposed scheme minimizes the sensing energy for individual sensor and carefully selects the suitable participant sensors in each cooperative sensing process. This results in maximizing the lifetime of energy‐constrained wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme also takes into consideration the constraints on the detection accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme prolonged the lifetime of the cognitive network, makes efficient usage of available spectrum by secondary users, and satisfy the target detection performance.     

Accurate compressive data gathering in wireless sensor networks using weighted spatio-temporal compressive sensing

The high number of transmissions in sensor nodes having a limited amount of energy leads to a drastic decrease in the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. For dense sensor networks, the provided data potentially have spatial and temporal correlations. The correlations between the data of the nodes make it possible to utilize compressive sensing theory during the data gathering phase; however, applying this technique leads to some errors during the reconstruction phase. In this paper, a method based on weighted spatial-temporal compressive sensing is proposed to improve the accuracy of the reconstructed data. Simulation results confirm that the reconstruction error of the proposed method is approximately 16 times less than the closest compared method. It should be noted that due to applying weighted spatial-temporal compressive sensing, some extra transmissions are posed to the network. However, considering both lifetime and accuracy factors as a compound metric, the proposed method yields a 12% improvement compared to the closest method in the literature.     

A collaborative node management scheme for energy-efficient monitoring in wireless multimedia sensor networks

Clustering in sensor networks provides energy conservation, network scalability, topology stability, reducing overhead and also allows data aggregation and cooperation in data sensing and processing. Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks are characterized for directional sensing, the Field of View (FoV), in contrast to scalar sensors in which the sensing area usually is more uniform. In this paper, we first group multimedia sensor nodes in clusters with a novel cluster formation approach that associates nodes based on their common sensing area. The proposed cluster formation algorithm, called Multi-Cluster Membership (MCM), establishes clusters with nodes that their FoVs overlap at least in a minimum threshold area. The name of Multi-Cluster Membership comes from the fact that a node may belong to multiple clusters, if its FoV intersects more than one cluster-head and satisfies the threshold area. Comparing with Single-Cluster Membership (SCM) schemes, in which each node belongs to exactly one cluster, because of the capability of coordination between intersected clusters, MCM is more efficient in terms of energy conservation in sensing and processing subsystems at the cost of adding complexity in the node/cluster coordination. The main imposed difficulty by MCM, is the coordination of nodes and clusters for collaborative monitoring; SCMs usually assign tasks in a round-robin manner. Then, as second contribution, we define a node selection and scheduling algorithm for monitoring the environment that introduces intra and inter-cluster coordination and collaboration, showing how the network lifetime is prolonged with high lifetime prolongation factors particularly in dense deployments.     

Performance evaluation of sensor deployment using optimization techniques and scheduling approach for K-coverage in WSNs

In the wireless sensor networks, sensor deployment and coverage are the vital parameter that impacts the network lifetime. Network lifetime can be increased by optimal placement of sensor nodes and optimizing the coverage with the scheduling approach. For sensor deployment, heuristic algorithm is proposed which automatically adjusts the sensing range with overlapping sensing area without affecting the high degree of coverage. In order to demonstrate the network lifetime, we propose a new heuristic algorithm for scheduling which increases the network lifetime in the wireless sensor network. Further, the proposed heuristic algorithm is compared with the existing algorithms such as ant colony optimization, artificial bee colony algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The result reveals that the proposed heuristic algorithm with adjustable sensing range for sensor deployment and scheduling algorithm significantly increases the network lifetime.     

On coverage issues in directional sensor networks: A survey

The coverage optimization problem has been examined thoroughly for omni-directional sensor networks in the past decades. However, the coverage problem in directional sensor networks (DSN) has newly taken attraction, especially with the increasing number of wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) applications. Directional sensor nodes equipped with ultrasound, infrared, and video sensors differ from traditional omni-directional sensor nodes with their unique characteristics, such as angle of view, working direction, and line of sight (LoS) properties. Therefore, DSN applications require specific solutions and techniques for coverage enhancement. In this survey article, we mainly aim at categorizing available coverage optimization solutions and survey their problem definitions, assumptions, contributions, complexities and performance results. We categorize available studies about coverage enhancement into four categories. Target-based coverage enhancement, area-based coverage enhancement, coverage enhancement with guaranteed connectivity, and network lifetime prolonging. We define sensing models, design issues and challenges for directional sensor networks and describe their (dis)similarities to omni-directional sensor networks. We also give some information on the physical capabilities of directional sensors available on the market. Moreover, we specify the (dis)advantages of motility and mobility in terms of the coverage and network lifetime of DSNs.     

A survey and analysis of multipath routing protocols in wireless multimedia sensor networks

The main objective of this research is to conduct a performance analysis of various multipath routing protocols in wireless multimedia sensor networks for the efficient transmission of the image, audio and video data. To provide efficient routing for the large sized multimedia content, various multipath routing protocols such as energy-aware routing, QoS based routing and geographical routing methods are analyzed. In this analysis, the efficient routing techniques including geographical routing techniques such as GPSR, DGR, PW-DGR presented for wireless multimedia sensor networks are studied and the performance of each technique is evaluated to determine the efficient multipath routing technique. Comparisons are made for evaluated protocols and it is proved that the PW-DGR provides better routing performance for the multimedia data. The findings of the research also show that the PW-DGR method efficiently overcomes the routing problems such as energy bottleneck problem, energy-hole, reduced network lifetime and high delay in packet transmission.     

Node correlation clustering algorithm for wireless multimedia sensor networks based on overlapped FoVs

In this paper, a clustering algorithm is proposed based on the high correlation among the overlapped field of views for the wireless multimedia sensor networks. Firstly, by calculating the area of the overlapped field of views （FoVs） based on the gird method, node correlations have been obtained. Then, the algorithm utilizes the node correlations to partition the network region in which there are high correlation multimedia sensor nodes. Meanwhile, in order to minimize the energy consumption for transmitting images, the strategy of the cluster heads election is proposed based on the cost estimation, which consists of signal strength and residual energy as well as the node correlation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can balance the energy consumption and extend the network lifetime effectively.
