A New Energy-Balanced Transmission Scheme for Maximizing Network Lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks
Maximizing the network lifetime is one of design challenges for data transmission in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which is caused by the energy sink-hole problem. Recent researches show the energy sink-hole problem can be overcome by balancing the sensor energy consumptions. The paper proposes a new energy-balanced transmission scheme for maximizing network lifetime in wireless sensor networks, which focused on the corona-based WSN only with two coronas and we simulate the network base on the different radius of coronas because experiments show that the lifetime of corona-based WSN using two coronas is optimum for maximizing lifetime in the free space environments. Experimental simulation shows that the design method maximizes lifetime more than 10% than the existing methods.
