An Augmentation of Topology Control Algorithm for Energy Saving in WSN Integrated into Street Lighting Control

Abstract

Energy saving and improve the life time of the sensor node is main focus in the recent years for the researchers hence one of the application domain (Street light monitoring and controlling) of sensor required attention towards this direction. For contributing in this domain we have proposed a scheme for Street light controlling using distributed topology control (TC). The optimize version of A3 protocol reduces the number of messages send/received by the sensors which ultimately leads to the reduction of energy requirement. Experiments are carried on street light scenario for different no. of nodes by maintaining communication using Zigbee protocol. The performance of our extension is evaluated using, no. of messages send/receive & energy consumed during topology building and our approach is having good results as compared to the approach used for this type of network.

Energy-efficient and Load Distributed Clustering Algorithm for Dense Wireless Sensor Networks

“…As sensors are tiny in size, equipping them with high power batteries is difficult and cost effective. Due to the massive number of nodes and environmental conditions, replacing power outage nodes or recharging their batteries is highly complicated or infeasible [2] [3]. So, the lifetime of the network highly depends on energy utilization of a sensor in the network.…”
