Energy efficiency of virtual multi-input, multi-output based on sensor selection in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

In this paper, a weighted node selection technique in wireless sensor networks is proposed. It is an energy‐efficient cooperative technique where a selected number of sensors at the transmitting end are connected with a selected number of sensors at the receiving end to form a virtual multi‐input multi‐output. The proposed technique is based on a weighted selection function that combines geographical location, inter‐sensor distance in a cluster, channel estimate energy, power circuit, channel loss, mobility factor, and residual energy of each sensor. The weight of each of these parameters in the selection function depends on the degree that this parameter affects the energy consumption. Then, the cluster head selects the sensors with better selection parameters that reduce the overall energy consumption. The numerical results show that the proposed weighted node selection technique achieves a significant improvement in the energy consumption, delay, and network lifetime than the conventional techniques with and without the selected number of sensors. Its improvement reaches 15% in the energy consumption that leads to an increase in the network lifetime by four times the network lifetime of other techniques.

Efficient energy and completion time for dependent task computation offloading algorithm in industry 4.0

“…In a smart industry, devices are interconnected with data sensing and computing capabilities, thereby shaping Industry 4.0, which refers to the fourth industrial revolution. IoT, fog computing, cloud computing [ 1 ], and other advanced technologies can be used to provide Industry 4.0 with a fully connected smart network to reduce energy consumption and task computation time while enhancing production. In a smart factory, IoT connects machines, humans, and things [ 2 ].…”

Towards energy efficient relay deployment in multi‐user LTE‐A networks

“…Long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) technology is introduced by the third-generation partnership project to support wider transmission bandwidths. To achieve the performance targets, LTE-A uses several techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing [1] and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) [2]. LTE-A is being designed to be a high data rate and low latency system.…”

Energy-aware virtual multi-input-multi-output-based routing for wireless ad hoc networks

“…However, there are two main disadvantages in previous works. On the one hand, most routing algorithms build up vMIMO transmission on the fixed structures (e.g., clusters) so as to save the energy consumption for wireless networks. We give an example of the route with clusters in Figure (a), where the gray nodes represent cluster heads.…”
