Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is the collection of large number of low powered sensor nodes deployed for sensing & monitoring real world physical phenomenon like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, pressure, etc. Due to low powered battery and unattended deployment of sensor nodes, conserving sensor node energy requirement is one of the prime challenges in WSN. Satisfactory coverage of sensing area requires sensor nodes to be deployed densely which causes the real time observation to be associated spatially or temporally. Due to such dense deployment, there may be a situation where in more than one sensor node captures and communicates the same physical phenomenon which hints that data aware energy conservation technique may be applied in order to reduce the overall power requirement of the network. In this paper, a model is proposed to conserve overall energy by exploiting inter-node data association. In order to achieve this, real time wireless sensor network scenario is deployed and spatially and temporally associated sensor node data is acquired for further analysis. The inter-node data similarity is then measured by calculating similarity metrics like-Euclidean Distance, Cosine similarity and Pearson correlation coefficient. Finally, energy conservation technique is applied if the similarity metrics suggests high correlation between sensor nodes data.
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a infrastructure less network comprising of mobile nodes which dynamically form a network without the help of any centralized administration. Frequently changing network topology needs efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the performance of two on-demand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV). We demonstrate that even though DSR and AODV both are on-demand protocol, the differences in the protocol mechanics can lead to significant performance differentials. The performance differentials are analyzed using varying mobility
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
