Energy Consumption Balanced Topology Variable Routing Algorithm for WWSN in Disaster Rescue Scenarios

Abstract

In recent years, the Wearable Wireless Sensor Network (WWSN) has become one of the most popular networks used in disaster and emergency scenarios. We propose a routing algorithm named Energy Consumption Balanced Topology Variable (ECB-TV) on the body of users in WWSN. In the ECB-TV algorithm, network topology can be variable according to the change of network state. A multi-hop topology is used in normal situation and the network will switch to single-hop topology at once when an abnormal event happens. We also design a novel multi-hop routing algorithm for multi-hop topology where we select the node with the highest energy balance factor as next hop node. Energy balance factor is innovatively designed by simultaneously taking into account both energy consumption of transmitting and receiving nodes, which can balance the energy consumption of sensor nodes well. The simulation results show that the proposed ECB-TV algorithm has better performance in terms of lifetime in normal situations and delay in abnormal situations.

Computer Simulation and Investigations of the Roof Mount Photovoltaic System

“…According to Köhler et al the green roofs and PV system can be used together and there is no clash between them [20]. These systems could bring positive effects to building energy conservation and improving of the urban environment [21][22][23][24][25].…”

Study of the Effect of the Energy Produced From a Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar PV System for Small Households

“…This software allows visualization and analysis of measured values. It can be used to make a comparative analysis of the power output during the study period 2013-2020 years and it is possible to detect deviations in the operation of the PV system [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Through the Sunny Portal platform, the measured values are visualized and analyzed, a comparison of the extracted power over the years, which makes it possible to detect deviations in the operation of the PV system.…”
