In Wireless Sensor Network, energy is the most critical resource constraint due to the limited battery power of each sensor node. Almost all applications of Wireless Sensor Network require the flow of sensed data from multiple sources to a sink. So, the optimal location of sink is an important topological consideration. In this work, we focus on the topological modification of Wireless Sensor Network after a certain period by adding new sink node. We find optimal location for placing new sink node in order to maximize the network lifetime.
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.
