A nodes scheduling method applying for high density and large-scale WSN is put forward by using probabilistic coverage sensing model in this paper-that is the Distributed Probabilistic Coverage Sets Configuration Method (DPCS). In this method, the nodes with dense distribution are divided into several non-overlapping coverage sets by adopting distributed self-organization method. In the process of...
The wireless sensor network is consisting of a large number of micro chips with limited energy capacities that are capable of gathering data in different kinds of environments. Clustering sensors into small groups and each group is controlled by a cluster head, so that sensors transmit data to cluster-heads only and then cluster-heads send the aggregated information to the base station, may save some...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a lot of inexpensive sensors that have a limited energy resource. Many applications including environment monitoring use a clustering approach for efficient energy consumption. LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is the most famous one of clustering protocols, which enables the balanced consumption of energy to prolong network lifetime. In LEACH,...
Recently, wireless sensor network is widely used. The deployment of WSN in the field, however, is still restricted due to limited energy supply, limited computing power, limited buffer size, and packet delay. In this paper we present a new cluster model and polling protocol integrating the schedule polling and low power listening scheme. The new clustering approach allows short routing between the...
Wireless sensor network consisting of a large number of small sensors is effective for gathering various data in a variety of environments. Since each sensor operates on battery, energy efficient data transfer is indispensable to maximize the lifetime of the network. In this paper we propose a new data transfer protocol employed in large-scale wireless sensor network. Here only one designated cluster-head...
Since sensor nodes are energy-constrained, energy saving is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks. By reducing the number of transmissions, data aggregation is an effective approach to save energy. In the literature, most of data aggregation protocols rely on a structured architecture to accomplish the data gathering task. Such structure-based methods suffer from high maintenance overhead in...
TDMA has been proposed as a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its efficiency in high WSN load. However, TDMA is plagued with shortcomings; we present modifications to TDMA that will allow for the same efficiency of TDMA, while allowing the network to conserve energy during times of low load (when there is no activity being detected). Recognizing that aggregation plays an essential...
The coverage problem in sensor networks studies how to turn redundant sensors off while maintaining a required level of coverage. The existing algorithms and protocols are proven to be effective to conserve energy and prolong network lifetime, but only support a static level of sensing coverage. In contrast, many sensor network applications may require a dynamic level of coverage, which changes from...
In spite of the huge recent research effort in the field, energy efficiency remains one of the key issues in wireless communications. The area most affected by energy inefficiency is wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this paper we propose SESAM - a distributed MAC protocol, which, making use of application level information to predict future transmission instants between nodes, achieves an exceptional...
