Coverage Optimization

In order to optimize the wireless sensor network coverage, this paper designs a coverage optimization strategy for wireless sensor network (EACS) based on energy-aware. Under the assumption that the geographic positions of sensor nodes are available, the proposed strategy consists of energy-aware and network coverage adjustment. It is restricted to conditions such as path loss, residual capacity and monitored area and according to awareness ability of sensors, it would adjust the monitored area, repair network hole and kick out the redundant coverage. The purpose is to balance the energy distribution of working nodes, reduce the number of “dead” nodes and balance network energy consumption. As a result, the network lifetime is expanded. Simulation results show that: EACS effectively reduces the number of working nodes, improves network coverage, lowers network energy consumption while ensuring the wireless sensor network coverage and connectivity, so as to balance network energy consumption.

This algorithm calculates the irregularity of blind zone in network coverage and obtains the minimum approximate numerical solution by utilizing the quantitative relationship between energy consumption of related nodes and the position of the mobile nodes. After determining the optimal relative position of the mobile nodes, the problem of blind zone between the static nodes is addressed. Simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm has high dynamic adaptability and can address the problem of blind zone maximally. Besides increasing the network coverage, the algorithm also reduces the network energy consumption, optimizes network coverage control and exhibits high convergence. </span>

A wireless sensor network (WSN) has achieved significant importance in tracking different physical or environmental conditions using wireless sensor nodes. Such types of networks are used in various applications including smart cities, smart building, military target tracking and surveillance, natural disaster relief, and smart homes. However, the limited power capacity of sensor nodes is considered a major issue that hampers the performance of a WSN. A plethora of research has been conducted to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes in traditional WSN, however the limited functional capability of such networks is the main constraint in designing sophisticated and dynamic solutions. Given this, software defined networking (SDN) has revolutionized traditional networks by providing a programmable and flexible framework. Therefore, SDN concepts can be utilized in designing energy-efficient WSN solutions. In this paper, we exploit SDN capabilities to conserve energy consumption in a traditional WSN. To achieve this, an energy-aware multihop routing protocol (named EASDN) is proposed for software defined wireless sensor network (SDWSN). The proposed protocol is evaluated in a real environment. For this purpose, a test bed is developed using Raspberry Pi. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits promising results in terms of network lifetime, average energy consumption, the packet delivery ratio, and average delay in comparison to an existing energy efficient routing protocol for SDWSN and a traditional source routing algorithm.

Monitoring Area

The random placement of a large-scale sensor network in an outdoor environment often causes low coverage. In order to effectively improve the coverage of a wireless sensor network in the monitoring area, a coverage optimization algorithm for wireless sensor networks with a Virtual Force-Lévy-embedded Grey Wolf Optimization (VFLGWO) algorithm is proposed. The simulation results show that the VFLGWO algorithm has a better optimization effect on the coverage rate, uniformity, and average moving distance of sensor nodes than a wireless sensor network coverage optimization algorithm using Lévy-embedded Grey Wolf Optimizer, Cuckoo Search algorithm, and Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization. The VFLGWO algorithm has good adaptability with respect to changes of the number of sensor nodes and the size of the monitoring area.

Efficient Manner

In this paper, a monitoring technique based on the wireless sensor network is investigated. The sensor nodes used for monitoring are developed in a simulation environment. Accordingly, the structure and workflow of wireless sensor network nodes are designed. Time-division multiple access (TDMA) protocol has been chosen as the medium access technique to ensure that the designed technique operates in an energy-efficient manner and packet collisions are not experienced. Fading channels, i.e., no interference, Ricean and Rayleigh, are taken into consideration. Energy consumption is decreased with the help of ad-hoc communication of sensor nodes. Throughput performance for different wireless fading channels and energy consumption are evaluated. The simulation results show that the sensor network can quickly collect medium information and transmit data to the processing center in real time. Besides, the proposed technique suggests the usefulness of wireless sensor networks in the terrestrial areas.
