A Distributed Topology Control Technique for Low Interference and Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are used in several multi-disciplinary areas covering a wide variety of applications. They provide distributed computing, sensing and communication in a powerful integration of capabilities. They have great long-term economic potential and have the ability to transform our lives. At the same time however, they pose several challenges -mostly as a result of their random deployment and non-renewable energy sources.Among the most important issues in wireless sensor networks are energy efficiency and radio interference. Topology control plays an important role in the design of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks; it is capable of constructing networks that have desirable characteristics such as sparser connectivity, lower transmission power and a smaller node degree.In this research a distributed topology control technique is presented that enhances energy efficiency and reduces radio interference in wireless sensor networks. Each node in the network makes local decisions about its transmission power and the culmination of these local decisions produces a network topology that preserves global connectivity.ii The topology that is produced consists of a planar graph that is a power spanner, it has lower node degrees and can be constructed using local information. The network lifetime is increased by reducing transmission power and the use of low node degrees reduces traffic interference.The approach to topology control that is presented in this document has an advantage over previously developed approaches in that it focuses not only on reducing either energy consumption or radio interference, but on reducing both of these obstacles. Results are presented of simulations that demonstrate improvements in performance. Van die belangrikste kwessies in draadlose sensor netwerke is energie-doeltreffendheid en radiosteuring. Topologie-beheer speel "n belangrike rol in die ontwerp van draadlose informele netwerke en sensor netwerke en dit is geskik om netwerke aan te bring wat gewenste eienskappe het soos verspreide koppeling, laer transmissiekrag en kleiner nodus graad.In hierdie ondersoek word "n verspreide topologie beheertegniek voorgelê wat energiedoeltreffendheid verhoog en radiosteuring verminder in draadlose sensor netwerke. Elke nodus in die netwerk maak lokale besluite oor sy transmissiekrag en die hoogtepunt van hierdie lokale besluite lewer "n netwerk-topologie op wat globale verbintenis behou.Die topologie wat gelewer word is "n tweedimensionele grafiek en "n kragsleutel; dit het laer nodus grade en kan gebou word met lokale inligting. Die netwerk-leeftyd word iv vermeerder deur transmissiekrag te verminder en verkeer-steuring word verminder deur lae nodus grade.Die benadering tot topologie-beheer wat voorgelê word in hierdie skrif het "n voordeel oor benaderings wat vroeër ontwikkel is omdat dit nie net op die vermindering van net energie verbruik of net radiosteuring fokus nie, maar op albei. Resultate van simulasies word voorgelê wat die verbetering in werkverrigting demonstreer.v ACK...

“…6, will influence the effect of the channel assignment. Previously described topology control techniques [21], [22] can be used to reduce interference among coexisting networks. However, these topics are not the focus of this paper; we will study them in future work.…”

Optimization coverage conserving protocol with authentication in wireless sensor networks

“…The judgment state: at the beginning of each round, the nodes are in the judgment state. 25,26 When the nodes meet the redundant judgment requirement, they enter the sleeping state, and when the requirement is not met, the nodes will enter the competition state. The competition state: when the nodes are in the competition state, they can enter the state of the working state; otherwise, they will enter the standby state.…”

Using Cognitive Radio for Interference-Resistant Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks: An Overview

“…A new metric called Quality of Coexistence (QoC) [37] was proposed to characterise how well SU networks and mixed PU and SU networks coexist. Interference in multi-hop CRNs can also be controlled using routing solutions [38] and topology control [39]. A cross layer CRN framework was proposed for smart grids that mitigates the adverse effect of noisy and congested spectrum bands [40].…”
