Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have inherent and unique characteristics rather than traditional networks. They have many different constraints, such as computational power, storage capacity, energy supply and etc. Energy aware routing protocol is very important in WSN, but routing protocol which only considers energy has not efficient performance. Therefore considering other parameters beside energy...
In this paper, a heuristic adaptive routing algorithm for an energy-efficient configuration management has been suggested which can reduce energy consumption while guaranteeing QoS for the emergency data in wireless body area networks (WBANs). The priority and vicinity of the nodes are taken into account for the selection of reachable parent nodes, when the nodes are disconnected due to the mobile...
To construct energy optimal Internet, a new traffic engineering concept aggregating traffic into specific links and dynamically powering off interfaces of routers/switches should be introduced. This paper proposes a network topology design algorithm and examines link power management.
In this paper, we propose a new dynamic energy efficient routing scheme for wireless sensor networks. Based on the dynamic reconfiguration approach, the proposed scheme can provide network adaptability while enhancing the network efficiency. In addition, our distributed control paradigm has low complexity, making it practical for real sensor network management. Simulation results indicate the superior...
Internet traffic has been growing quickly for many years and this growth will continue in the future (despite temporarily adverse economic conditions) requiring enhanced network technologies. Also to cope with this evolution, the cost of today's network solutions is still too high. In addition, in line with the EC goal of reducing the overall emissions, energy efficiency should be widely improved,...
Energy saving has become a global issue when people use network enabled equipment in the office or at home. However few methods exist to measure and monitor energy use per user or per application, or to control equipment power states. We propose a generic energy consumption model that is based on the power state of network attached equipment, and that supports power management capabilities. This includes...
The following topics are dealt with: mobile ad-hoc network; sensor network; data management; network management; routing; localization; power awareness; energy efficiency; performance evaluation; QoS; MAC; coding application; network security; network privacy; target tracking; and performance enhancement.
The media access control (MAC) protocol in wireless sensor networks provides a periodic listen/sleep state for protection from overhearing and idle listening. However, many scenarios and applications exist in which sensor nodes must send data quickly to destination nodes. This paper proposes the priority-based quality-of-service MAC (PQMAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks. We use data priority...
Support for intelligent, autonomous, adaptive and distributed resource management is a key to the success of scalable and dynamic wireless sensor network applications. Distributed independent reinforcement learning (DIRL) is a micro-learning framework that enables distributed, adaptive resource management using only local information at individual sensor nodes. In this paper we propose COllective...
