Abstract:Wireless sensor networks (WSN) has been a prominent topic for the past decade. WSN consist of multiple sensor nodes, which collect and convey data to the base station(s). Sensor nodes are expected to run on batteries, and it makes energy the scarce resource for sensor nodes. The energy expenditure of a sensor node mainly depends on data transmission, which is exponentially affected by transmission distance. Consequently, if sensor nodes forward their data to the base station directly, distant sensor nodes will… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
