Energy utilization is a challenging task that is being encountered in low-powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) when designing an algorithm, protocol or hardware. Congestion is a factor that can affect a network's lifetime (and energy utilization), since it usually leads to packet drops or collisions in the medium followed by possible retransmissions. Forwarding data packets through alternative...
Data gathering in a wireless sensor network works in a way that a sink collects data from a large number of sensor nodes. Traditionally, the hop-by-hop transmission is used in this many-to-one communication. In this communication pattern, the closer a sensor node is to the sink, the sooner its energy is exhausted. The nodes close to the sink need to route data packets for farther nodes and thus the...
A principal factor in sensor network design is energy efficiency. In this work, we propose to extend the lifetime of sensor networks using appropriate choice of sensor node distribution. The key idea of our scheme is to deploy more nodes in areas of extensive energy usage. Using this scheme of sensor node distribution, we use probabilistic angular routing to route data packets from the sensor nodes...
