Software defined wireless networks (SDWNs) present an innovative framework for virtualized network control and flexible architecture design of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, the decoupled control and data planes and the logically centralized control in SDWNs may cause high energy consumption and resource waste during system operation, hindering their application in WSNs. In this paper, we propose a software defined WSN (SDWSN) prototype to improve the energy efficiency and adaptability of WSNs for environmental monitoring applications, taking into account the constraints of WSNs in terms of energy, radio resources, and computational capabilities, and the value redundancy and distributed nature of data flows in periodic transmissions for monitoring applications. Particularly, we design a reinforcement learning based mechanism to perform value-redundancy filtering and load-balancing routing according to the values and distribution of data flows, respectively, in order to improve the energy efficiency and self-adaptability to environmental changes for WSNs. The optimal matching rules in flow table are designed to curb the control signaling overhead and balance the distribution of data flows for achieving in-network fusion in data plane with guaranteed quality of service (QoS). Experiment results show that the proposed SDWSN prototype can effectively improve the energy efficiency and self-adaptability of environmental monitoring WSNs with QoS.

This paper presents a Data-gathering, Dynamic Duty-cycling (D3) protocol for wireless sensor networks. With a proposed duty-cycling MAC of high energy efficiency in D3, a routing scheme is naturally embedded to reduce protocol overhead. A packet can be forwarded in a pipelined fashion by staggering the sleep-wakeup schedules between two communicating nodes, which can significantly reduce end-to-end delay to meet real-time transmission requirements. To construct and maintain schedules, a grade and schedule establishment mechanism with a lightweight schedule error correction scheme is designed. In addition, based on the intrinsic characteristics of the network, an adaptive schedule maintenance scheme is proposed to dynamically adjust the node duty cycle to the network traffic load. The results based on the extensive OPNET simulations show that D3 can largely improve packet delivery ratio, energy efficiency and throughput, and reduce packet delivery latency.

In this paper, we develop an analytical energy efficiency model using dual switched branch diversity receiver in wireless sensor networks in fading environments. To adapt energy efficiency of sensor node to channel variations, the optimal packet length at the data link layer is considered. Within this model, the energy efficiency can be effectively improved for switch-and-stay combiner (SSC) receiver with optimal switching threshold. Moreover, to improve energy efficiency, we use error control of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hochquengh (BCH) coding for SSC-BPSK receiver node compared to one of non-diversity NCFSK receiver of sensor node. The results show that the BCH code for channel coding can improve the energy efficiency significantly for long link distance and various values of high energy consumptions over Rayleigh fading channel.

AbstractAs one of the basic supporting technologies of 5G system, wireless sensor networks technology is facing a new challenge to improve its transmission energy efficiency. This paper considers combining simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique and routing technique, and applying them to multi-hop clustered wireless sensor networks (MCWSN), where each node can decode information and harvest energy from a received radio-frequency signal. And the relay nodes in MCWSN can utilize the harvest energy to forward data to their next hop nodes according to the routing scheme. First, we formulate an energy-efficient routing problem of MCWSN with SWIPT. Then, a heuristic energy efficient cooperative SWIPT routing algorithm (EECSR) is presented to find a transmission path with the maximum energy efficiency. Specifically, in EECSR, the resource allocation problem in each hop of the path is transformed to some equivalent convex optimization problems, which are resolved via dual decomposition. Moreover, a distributed routing protocol based on EECSR is proposed. As far as we know, this is the first solution that considers energy efficiency optimization based on routing and SWIPT in MCWSN. Simulation results show that our EECSR algorithm has high energy efficiency and good robustness. And our distributed routing protocol has better real-time performance than traditional protocols.

Wireless Sensor Networks, have witnessed significant amount of improvement in research across various areas like Routing, Security, Localization, Deployment and above all Energy Efficiency. Congestion is a problem of  importance in resource constrained Wireless Sensor Networks, especially for large networks, where the traffic loads exceed the available capacity of the resources . Sensor nodes are prone to failure and the misbehaviour of these faulty nodes creates further congestion. The resulting effect is a degradation in network performance, additional computation and increased energy consumption, which in turn decreases network lifetime. Hence, the data packet routing algorithm should consider congestion as one of the parameters, in addition to the role of the faulty nodes and not merely energy efficient protocols .Nowadays, the main central point of attraction is the concept of Swarm Intelligence based techniques integration in WSN.  Swarm Intelligence based Computational Swarm Intelligence Techniques have improvised WSN in terms of efficiency, Performance, robustness and scalability. The main objective of this research paper is to propose congestion aware , energy efficient, routing approach that utilizes Ant Colony Optimization, in which faulty nodes are isolated by means of the concept of trust further we compare the performance of various existing routing protocols like AODV, DSDV and DSR routing protocols, ACO Based Routing Protocol  with Trust Based Congestion aware ACO Based Routing in terms of End to End Delay, Packet Delivery Rate, Routing Overhead, Throughput and Energy Efficiency. Simulation based results and data analysis shows that overall TBC-ACO is 150% more efficient in terms of overall performance as compared to other existing routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks.
