An Energy-Efficient Data Delivery Scheme for Delay-Sensitive Traffic in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

We propose a novel data-delivery method for delay-sensitive traffic that significantly reduces the energy consumption in wireless sensor networks without reducing the number of packets that meet end-to-end real-time deadlines. The proposed method, referred to as SensiQoS, leverages the spatial and temporal correlation between the data generated by events in a sensor network and realizes energy savings through application-specific in-network aggregation of the data. SensiQoS maximizes energy savings by adaptively waiting for packets from upstream nodes to perform in-network processing without missing the real-time deadline for the data packets. SensiQoS is a distributed packet scheduling scheme, where nodes make localized decisions on when to schedule a packet for transmission to meet its end-to-end real-time deadline and to which neighbor they should forward the packet to save energy. We also present a localized algorithm for nodes to adapt to network traffic to maximize energy savings in the network. Simulation results show that SensiQoS improves the energy savings in sensor networks where events are sensed by multiple nodes, and spatial and/or temporal correlation exists among the data packets. Energy savings due to SensiQoS increase with increase in the density of the sensor nodes and the size of the sensed events.

Power Aware and Energy Efficient Routing Protocol (Paeerp) for Wireless Sensor Networks

“…Other energy-efficient routing algorithms focusing on energy-consumption as well as other metrics of network performance such as queueing delay, congestion or maximum data yield have been proposed [18,19]. Energy efficient routing algorithms subject to latency constraints are also investigated in [20]. Recent works have looked at exploiting the data correlation by using data aggregation along the multi-hop path [14][15][16][17][18].…”

An Energy‐Efficient Cluster‐Based Vehicle Detection on Road Network Using Intention Numeration Method

“…But a promising solution to be obtained was the multiple invocations considering the hierarchy of data aggregators was unaddressed. A novel data-delivery scheme for delay-sensitive traffic was designed in [ 4 ] to minimize the consumption of energy in wireless networks but wait time was not measured. The dynamic motion model as designed in [ 5 ] proposed segmentation using edge based dilation to segment only a specific area for moving object rather than the entire area resulting in robustness.…”

Peer-to-Peer Jini for Truly Service-Oriented WSNs

“…Due to this, many of the researchers on WSNs focused their efforts on minimizing the energy consumption of the whole network. Techniques such as data compression, data fusion, and other optimized data delivery schemes, Time Division Multiple Access-(TDMA-) oriented communications, and enhanced MAC protocols, are commonly used as they already proved [2][3][4][5][6][7] to be advantageous in energy savings.…”
