Enhancing Network Availability by Tolerance Control in Multi-Sink Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The limited energy in wireless sensor network has always been a key topic. Most previous studies usually regulate the network loading by periodically directing the data flow to different sinks in order to extend the overall life-time of network and enhance the network availability or data delivery. However, the time and place that an event occurred can not be estimated, thus regular information flow switching may not be able to balance the actual loading of network. Another, multiple paths to sinks for each node are established in the tolerance area defined by a pre-defined difference between the cost, i.e. hop counts away from sinks, of paths to different sinks such that each node in-between multiple sinks can distribute the forwarding burden among the paths to different sinks. Since sending data to a farther sink consumes much more overall energy of network, the gain of data delivery should be evaluated at the sacrifice of energy consumption. In this paper, a quantized model is proposed to evaluate the tradeoff between energy consumption and data delivery under non-uniformly events triggering in network. The tradeoff between network availability and energy consumption would be analyzed and the corresponding simulation results would be included.

“…Unfortunately, e-mail has been extensively exploited as a channel for some crime syndicates or cyber terrorists. Hence, in order to alleviate the uprising exploitation of IT tools in committing cybercrimes, the DF was created for the purpose of combating this unprecedented challenge [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Energy-Efficient Probabilistic Routing Algorithm for Internet of Things

“…In such networks for IoT, nodes are distributed in a certain region for specific purpose and gather the required information, for example, the information about the temperature, motion, and physical changes [6][7][8]. The nodes forward the gathered information to the intermediate nodes because of the limited transmission range of the node [9,10]. Therefore, the intermediate nodes use the unintended energy for the packet forwarding of the source node, which induces high energy consumption of the nodes and thus accelerates network partitioning.…”

CAPNet: An Enhanced Load Balancing Clustering Algorithm for Prolonging Network Lifetime in WSNs

“…Although sensors are inexpensive, they have limited computation capability and battery capacity. Sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) collect sensed data and cooperatively send their data through the routing lifetime [3][4][5]. The network lifetime can be defined in many different ways (e.g., the time elapsed paths to a destination; one of the main issues in WSNs is energy efficiency that allows longer network until the first (or last) node dies) [6,7].…”
