Reduce Energy Consumption

<p class="Abstract">In Wireless Sensor Networks, no physical backbone infrastructure used while all sensor nodes are energy constrained and impractical to recharge. The behavior of networks becomes unstable once the first node dies. The key challenge in such networks is how to reduce energy consumption to increase the network lifetime, especially with the different amount of energy in heterogeneity environments.</p><p class="Abstract">In this paper, the virtual backbone routing solution is suggested to reduce energy consumption in a wireless sensor network. An integrated approach combines both advantages of hierarchical cluster-based architecture and shortest spanning tree topology for constructing a virtual backbone with a mobile sink. The clustering solution is used to divide the network into clusters and reduces the number of nodes included in the communication. On the other hand, the shortest spanning tree technique is used to construct a backbone among all cluster heads and mobile sink every time the sink traverses to a new location. The proposed approach aims to construct an efficient data aggregation spanning tree used to send or receive data between the mobile sink and elected cluster heads in wireless sensor networks. It constructs an efficient virtual backbone to decrease the energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of the network.</p>Performance evaluation results demonstrate how the proposed approach prolongs the lifetime of wireless sensor networks compared to some conventional clustering protocols.

Reduce Energy Consumption

Purpose – Clustering, routing, and data dissemination are an important issue in wireless sensor networks. The basic functions of wireless sensor networks are phenomena controlling in the physical environment, and the reporting of sensed data to the central node called sink, in which more operations can be done on the data. The most important limitation of wireless sensor networks is energy consumption. There are several ways to increase the lifetime of these networks, that one of the most important is the using proper clustering method. The aim of this study is to reduce energy consumption using an effective clustering algorithm and for this purpose, the honeybee colony metaheuristic method was used for cluster heads selection. Methodology/approach/design – The simulation in this paper was done using MATLAB software and the proposed method is compared with the LEACH and SEED approach. Findings – The results of simulations in this research indicate that the research has significantly reduced the energy consumption in the network than LEACH and SEED algorithms. Originality/value – Given the energy constraints in the wireless sensor network, providing such solutions and using metaheuristic algorithms can dramatically reduce energy consumption and, consequently increase network lifetime.

Computational Resources

The wireless sensor networks consist of numerous small nodes which are also called as energy resource-constrained sensor nodes. The communication of these nodes can be done in a various way. There is also the processing of signal tasks which is done through the various computational resources provided by the networks. The energy of the sensor nodes gets consumed when transmit the data or receive data from the network. To reduce energy consumption of the network various techniques has been proposed which are known as clustering techniques. In the proposed work the mobile sink is deployed in the network which reduces overhead in the network. Experimental results shows that the proposed work outperforms the existing one in terms of reduced energy consumption of the network, increased throughput of the network, reduced delay in the network.

Due to limited resources in wireless sensor nodes, energy efficiency is considered as one of the primary constraints in the design of the topology of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since data that are collected by wireless sensor nodes exhibit the characteristics of temporal association, data fusion has also become a very important means of reducing network traffic as well as eliminating data redundancy as far as data transmission is concerned. Another reason for data fusion is that, in many applications, only some of the data that are collected can meet the requirements of the sink node. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate the number of cluster heads or data aggregators during data fusion based on the rate-distortion function. In our discussion, we will first establish an energy consumption model and then describe a method for calculating the number of cluster heads from the point of view of reducing energy consumption. We will also show through theoretical analysis and experimentation that the network topology design based on the rate-distortion function is indeed more energy-efficient.

Sink Node

In the water area monitoring of the traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the monitoring data are mostly transmitted to the base station through multihop. However, there are many problems in multihop transmission in traditional wireless sensor networks, such as energy hole, uneven energy consumption, unreliable data transmission, and so on. Based on the high maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a mobile data collection scheme is proposed, which uses UAV as a mobile sink node in WSN water monitoring and transmits data wirelessly to collect monitoring node data efficiently and flexibly. In order to further reduce the energy consumption of UAV, the terminal nodes are grouped according to the dynamic clustering algorithm and the nodes with high residual energy in the cluster are selected as cluster head nodes. Then, according to the characteristics of sensor nodes with a certain range of wireless signal coverage, the angular bisection method is introduced on the basis of the traditional ant colony algorithm to plan the path of UAV, which further shortens the length of the mobile path. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the method are proved by simulation and experimental tests.
