Distributed Reliable and Efficient Transmission Task Assignment for WSNs

Abstract

Task assignment is a crucial problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that may affect the completion quality of sensing tasks. From the perspective of global optimization, a transmission-oriented reliable and energy-efficient task allocation (TRETA) is proposed, which is based on a comprehensive multi-level view of the network and an evaluation model for transmission in WSNs. To deliver better fault tolerance, TRETA dynamically adjusts in event-driven mode. Aiming to solve the reliable and efficient distributed task allocation problem in WSNs, two distributed task assignments for WSNs based on TRETA are proposed. In the former, the sink assigns reliability to all cluster heads according to the reliability requirements, so the cluster head performs local task allocation according to the assigned phase target reliability constraints. Simulation results show the reduction of the communication cost and latency of task allocation compared to centralized task assignments. Like the latter, the global view is obtained by fetching local views from multiple sink nodes, as well as multiple sinks having a consistent comprehensive view for global optimization. The way to respond to local task allocation requirements without the need to communicate with remote nodes overcomes the disadvantages of centralized task allocation in large-scale sensor networks with significant communication overheads and considerable delay, and has better scalability.

“…In [ 14 ], the authors developed two distributed task assignments for wireless sensor networks on the basis of the “transmission-oriented reliable and energy-efficient task allocation” for the purpose of solving the distributed task allocation issue in wireless sensor networks. In the first distributed task assignments for wireless sensor networks, the sink allocates reliability to all cluster heads based on the requirements of the reliability, in this way the cluster head carries out the local task allocation.…”

“…Therefore, edge computing nodes can provide local services to terminal devices to improve the real-time performance of services and information feedback, and thus reduce the return time delay caused by the remote interaction between terminal devices and cloud platform. Concurrently, edge computing devices can also provide preliminary data processing, divert computing tasks from the cloud platform, reduce the amount of data uploaded to the cloud platform, and reduce the bandwidth load of the backbone link [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
