In the application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), energy efficiency is always an important topic for extending the network lifetime. Scheduling the operation modes of sensors can reduce the energy wasted by redundant sensors, but frequent alterations of sensors' modes and different data transmission routes influence the reliability of the WSN. In this paper, a novel algorithm for maximizing the...
Maximizing the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a challenging problem. Although some methods exist to address the problem in homogeneous WSNs, research on this problem in heterogeneous WSNs have progressed at a slow pace. Inspired by the promising performance of ant colony optimization (ACO) to solve combinatorial problems, this paper proposes an ACO-based approach that can maximize...
Research into maximizing the network lifetime is one of the most significant and challenging areas in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). By arranging sensors and sinks to realize target coverage and network connectivity respectively, an efficient schedule of sensors and sinks can prolong the network lifetime. However, the arrangements of sensors and sinks correlate with each other because each sensor...
