Connectivity Analysis in Clustered Wireless Sensor Networks Powered by Solar Energy

Abstract

Emerging 5G communication paradigms, such as machine-type communication, have triggered an explosion in ad-hoc applications that require connectivity among the nodes of wireless networks.Ensuring a reliable network operation under fading conditions is not straightforward, as the transmission schemes and the network topology, i.e., uniform or clustered deployments, affect the performance and should be taken into account. Moreover, as the number of nodes increases, exploiting natural energy sources and wireless energy harvesting (WEH) could be the key to the elimination of maintenance costs, while also boosting immensely the network lifetime. In this way, zero-energy wireless-powered sensor networks (WPSNs) could be achieved, if all components are powered by green sources. Hence, designing accurate mathematical models that capture the network behavior under these circumstances is necessary to provide a deeper comprehension of such networks. In this paper, we provide an analytical model for the connectivity in a large-scale zero-energy clustered WPSN under two common transmission schemes, namely unicast and broadcast. The sensors are WEH-enabled, while the network components are solar-powered and employ a novel energy allocation algorithm. In our results, we evaluate the tradeoffs among the various scenarios via extensive simulations and identify the conditions that yield a fully connected zero-energy WPSN.

“…Data integration is an important processing step in many areas (DW Upton et al 2018) [5]. For a large data set, the quality of the relevant parameters such as the quality and accuracy of the data in the integration process is a criterion for judging whether the data integration is excellent (Mekikis P V et al 2018) [6]. However, there are some mistakes that data cannot avoid during the integration process.…”

LEACH-MTC: A Network Energy Optimization Algorithm Constraint as Moving Target Prediction

“…WSNs have many advantages including flexible deployment, low price, low power consumption and high accuracy of information acquisition. Thus, they are widely used in military fields [1][2][3] , environmental monitoring [4][5][6] , industrial control [7][8][9] , and so on. However, since network nodes are usually deployed in complex, dangerous places, it is difficult to maintain them frequently, and the energy carried by the node is limited.…”

Breaking the Boundaries of Aerial Networks with Charging Stations

“…Moreover, as a CS can provide charging docks to more than one UAV, their intensity could be far lower than the SC intensity, saving in infrastructure cost, as each CS could be able to charge several UAVs at the same time and be responsible for even more. Furthermore, to increase the network sustainability, energy harvesting can be employed at the CSs to provide a cost-effective solution [10], [11]. Nevertheless, as the tidal traffic patterns will force the UAVs to change location often, there is a need to assign each UAV to a CS optimally.…”
