Existing three-tier network architecture of Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) consists of three tiers i.e. tier-1 consisting of member sensor nodes and cluster heads, tier-2 consisting of actor nodes and finally tier-3 consisting of sink node(s). In this architecture, all the network management functions are to be performed either by sink node(s) or cluster heads or normal member sensor nodes...
The actor nodes are the backbone of wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) in an unsupervised and hostile environment. Their failure rate is also high in hostile scenario due to many reasons like breakdown of electronic circuitry or complete battery power exhaustion of devices or software counter fault in nodes or physical damage of actor nodes, etc. The most serious side effect may occur in the...
In this research paper we study the problem of optimal actor nodes selection based on mutual exclusion in the context of wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) and propose a novel distributed approach to solve it. The major requirements for any proposed approach in such scenario are: (1) the proposed approach should select the minimum number of actor nodes to act on the given incident event region,...
