Cooperative Beamforming

In wireless sensor networks where the volume and energy of nodes are limited by batteries, which are difficult or prohibitively expensive to replace or recharge in the most of its application scenarios, so improving energy efficiency has very important significance.Cooperative beamforming forms virtual antenna arrays by multiple adjacent wireless sensor nodes, which improves the signal strength at the receiver and reduces the energy consumption of the transmitter by multiplexing gain and interference management.In this paper, the problem of energy consumption optimization for cooperative beamforming in wireless sensor networks was studied. First, considering both amplifier energy consumption and circuit energy consumption,energy consumption models for both broadcast phase and cooperative beamforming phase was presented.Then,we propose a two-step optimization to minimize the total energy consumption by optimizing the modulation parameter and the number of cooperative nodes.We simulate the total energy consumption for various transmission distances,modulation parameters , path losses and the number of cooperative nodes.The numerical results show that,for different system parameters, selecting the optimal modulation parameter and the optimal number of cooperative nodes can reduce total energy consumption and improve energy efficiency.

Due to the rapidly growing sensor-enabled connected world around us, with the continuously decreasing size of sensors from smaller to tiny, energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks has drawn ample consideration in both academia as well as in industries’ R&D. The literature of energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is focused on the three layers of wireless communication, namely the physical, Medium Access Control (MAC) and network layers. Physical layer-centric energy efficiency techniques have limited capabilities due to hardware designs and size considerations. Network layer-centric energy efficiency approaches have been constrained, in view of network dynamics and available network infrastructures. However, energy efficiency at the MAC layer requires a traffic cooperative transmission control. In this context, this paper presents a one-dimensional discrete-time Markov chain analytical model of the Timeout Medium Access Control (T-MAC) protocol. Specifically, an analytical model is derived for T-MAC focusing on an analysis of service delay, throughput, energy consumption and power efficiency under unsaturated traffic conditions. The service delay model calculates the average service delay using the adaptive sleep wakeup schedules. The component models include a queuing theory-based throughput analysis model, a cycle probability-based analytical model for computing the probabilities of a successful transmission, collision, and the idle state of a sensor, as well as an energy consumption model for the sensor’s life cycle. A fair performance assessment of the proposed T-MAC analytical model attests to the energy efficiency of the model when compared to that of state-of-the-art techniques, in terms of better power saving, a higher throughput and a lower energy consumption under various traffic loads.

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>The mismatch of task scheduling results in rapid network energy consumption during data transmission in wireless sensor networks. To address this issue, the paper proposed an </strong><strong>E</strong><strong>nergy-consumption </strong><strong>O</strong><strong>ptimization-oriented </strong><strong>T</strong><strong>ask </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>cheduling </strong><strong>A</strong><strong>lgorithm (EOTS algorithm) which formally described the overall power dissipation in the network system.

They underwent simulated annealing and iterative refinement, with the intention of improving sensor nodes’ utilization rate, reducing local idle energy cost, as well as cutting down the overall energy consumption accordingly. The experiment result shows that under the environment of multi-task operation, from the perspective of energy cost optimization, the proposed scheduling strategy recorded an increase of 21.24% compared with the FIFO algorithm, and an increase of 16.77% in comparison to the EMRSA algorithm; while in light of network lifetimes, the EOTS algorithm surpassed the ECTA algorithm by a gain of 19.21%. Therefore, the effectiveness of the proposed EOTS algorithm is verified.</strong></span></p>

Based on the connectivity and energy consumption problems in wireless sensor networks, this paper proposes a kind of new network algorithm called the connectivity and energy efficiency (CEE) algorithm to guarantee the connectivity and connectivity probability, and also to reduce the network energy consumption as much as possible. Under the premise that all sensors can communicate with each other in a specific communication radius, we obtained the relationship among the connectivity, the number of sensor nodes, and the communication radius because of the theory of probability and statistics. The innovation of the paper is to maximize the network connectivity and connectivity probability, by choosing which types of sleeping nodes to wake up. According to the node’s residual energy and the relative value of distance, the algorithm reduces the energy consumption of the whole network as much as possible, and wakes up the number of neighbor nodes as little as possible, to improve the service life of the whole network. Simulation results show that this algorithm combines the connectivity and the energy efficiency, provides a useful reference value for the normal operation of the sensors networks.

Energy efficiency is one of the important hot issues in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, a multi-hop scheme based on a cooperative multi-input multi-outputspatial modulation technique is proposed in order to improve energy efficiency in WSN. In this scheme, the sensor nodes are grouped into clusters in order to achieve a multi-input multi-output system; and a simple forwarding transmission scenario is considered so that the intermediate clusters only forward packets originated from the source cluster down to the sink cluster. In order to verify the performance of the proposed system, the bit energy consumption formula is derived and the optimal number of hopsis determined. By qualitative experiments, the obtained results show that the proposed scheme can deliver the data over multiple hops consuming optimal energy consumption per bit.

Lifetime Maximization

To prolong network lifetime, lifetime maximization routing based on genetic algorithm (GALMR) for wireless sensor networks is proposed. Energy consumption model and node transmission probability are used to calculate the total energy consumption of nodes in a data gathering cycle. Then, lifetime maximization routing is formulated as maximization optimization problem. The select, crosss, and mutation operations in genetic algorithm are used to find the optimal network lifetime and node transmission probability. Simulation results show that GALMR algorithm are convergence and can prolong network lifetime. Under certain conditions, GALMR outperforms PEDAP-PA, LET, Sum-w and Ratio-w algorithms.

In order to solve the energy limited problem of sensor nodes in the wireless sensor networks (WSN), a fast clustering algorithm based on energy efficiency for wire1ess sensor networks is presented in this paper. In the system initialization phase, the deployment region is divided into several clusters rapidly. The energy consumption ratio and degree of the node are chosen as the selection criterion for the cluster head. Re-election of the cluster head node at this time became a local trigger behavior. Because of the range of the re-election is within the cluster, which greatly reduces the complexity and computational load to re-elect the cluster head node. Theoretical analysis indicates that the timing complexity of the clustering algorithm is O(1), which shows that the algorithm overhead is small and has nothing to do with the network size n. Simulation results show that clustering algorithm based on energy efficiency can provide better load balancing of cluster heads and less protocol overhead. Clustering algorithm based on energy efficiency can reduce energy consumption and prolong the network lifetime compared with LEACH protocol.

Energy efficient data aggregation is a key solution to enhance the lifetime of wireless sensor networks since sensor nodes are battery-powered and deployed in remote environments. This article explore a two-hop data aggregation tree construction algorithm using binary search tree to reduce the total energy consumption of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks. An adaptive and hybrid routing algorithm for simultaneous data aggregation and exploit the data correlation between nodes using the two-hop data aggregation tree framework is proposed. Routes are chosen based on the shortest response time for the broadcasting request to minimize the total energy expended by the network. This paper also proposes a high secure asymmetric key cryptography algorithm to provide the secure data communication among the network. The data aggregation function that is used in the proposed routing algorithm enhances the lifetime of sensor network by resolving the delay, collision and security issues. Simulations results show that the binary tree based data aggregation can appreciably reduces the total energy consumption and resolves the maximum data aggregation issues in wireless sensor network.

Existing duty-cycling and pipelined-forwarding (DCPF) protocols applied in battery-powered wireless sensor networks can significantly alleviate the sleep latency issue and save the energy of networks. However, when a DCPF protocol applies to a linear sensor network (LSN), it lacks the ability to handle the bottleneck issue called the energy-hole problem, which is mainly manifested due to the excessive energy consumption of nodes near the sink node. Without overcoming this issue, the lifespan of the network could be greatly reduced. To that end, this paper proposes a method of deploying redundant nodes in LSN, and a corresponding enhanced DCPF protocol called redundancy-based DCPF (RDCPF) to support the new topology of LSN. In RDCPF, the distribution of energy consumption of the whole network becomes much more even. RDCPF also brings improvements to the network in terms of network survival time, packet delivery latency, and energy efficiency, which have been shown through the extensive simulations in comparison with existing DCPF protocols.
