This paper presents an approach describing transmit power controlled clusters for Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSNs). There are two types of nodes in the network: the low-end and high-end nodes. The objective is to set a threshold limit of transmit power for low end nodes for the intra-cluster communication, and also set a limit for high end nodes for inter-cluster communication. We have tested...
Network scalability and energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks should be supported by elaborate topology control. Clustering algorithms are useful topology management approach to reduce communication overhead and exploit data aggregation in wireless sensor networks. A clustering algorithm based on cell combination is presented in the paper for the networks where sensor nodes are distributed...
Minimizing energy dissipation and maximizing network lifetime are important issues in the design of applications and protocols for sensor networks. Energy-efficient sensor state planning consists in finding an optimal assignment of states to sensors in order to maximize network lifetime. For example, in area surveillance applications, only an optimal subset of sensors that fully covers the monitored...
Wireless sensor networks have been widely used in many important areas. Medium access control (MAC) protocols have a significant effect on the function and performance of sensor networks. Though the TDMA-based MAC protocols are inherently collision free and can rule out idle listening since nodes know when to transmit, it is difficult to change the frame size and time slot assignment due to network...
