A Data Gathering Algorithm Based on Mobile Agent and Emergent Event-Driven in Cluster-Based WSN

Abstract

<p><strong></strong></p><p>In order to improve energy efficiency and decrease network delay in wireless sensor network applied to emergent event monitoring, a new data gathering algorithm based on mobile agent and event-driven is proposed for cluster-based wireless sensor network. The process of dynamically clustering the sensor nodes is based on the event severity degree, by which the scale and lifetime of clusters are determined. And a multi-hop virtual cluster is formed between the base station and the cluster heads in which the base station is regarded as its cluster head. The order of nodes visited along the route by mobile agent has a significant impact on the algorithm efficiency and the lifetime for wireless sensor network. In this paper, the next hop in route planning for mobile agents is determined by the residual energy, the path loss and the stimulated intensity. The mobile agents can gather information by traversing all member nodes. The theory analysis and simulation results show that mobile-agent-based model has a better performance in energy consumption and network delay compared to C/S model. And mobile agent is more suitable for wireless sensor network than C/S model in data aggregation. Furthermore, DGMA will provide a more network applied to a large scale emergent event monitoring.</p

Parallel Processing for Large-scale Fault Tree in Wireless Sensor Networks

“…While the chain network's nodes are string-shaped connection in many chains, and the chain tail is connected with aggregate node. Hierarchic topologies [19] in general are consisted of backbones and nodes. The backbones which generally have strong ability in communication are in the upper for transforming data to aggregate nodes, and the nodes which are in the lower have weakly communication ability to responsible for collecting data.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, the mainstream methods that could be used to solve the problem of information gathering in large-scale WSNs are the hierarchical routing protocols [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. Indeed, in a hierarchical routing protocol, the sensor network is partitioned into several groups with different assignment levels.…”

A Review of Mobile Agents in Wireless Sensor Network

“…8.As in paper [8]data acquisition in clustered WSN's, with the goal of decreasing power consumption and network delay in WSN nodes, by introducing the mobile agent technology. The role of mobile agents is to collect sensor data from all nodes within a cluster and return it to a cluster head node, thereby shrinking power consumption of individual nodes communicating to the head cluster node contribution of the proposed solution is dynamic routing of a mobile agent (MA), while traversing the nodes.…”
