Energy optimization for wireless sensor networks using hierarchical routing techniquesAbidoye, Ademola Philip January 2015 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become a popular research area that is widely
gaining the attraction from both the research and the practitioner communities due to their
wide area of applications. These applications include real-time sensing for audio delivery,
imaging, video streaming, and remote monitoring with positive impact in many fields such
as precision agriculture, ubiquitous healthcare, environment protection, smart cities and
many other fields. While WSNs are aimed to constantly handle more intricate functions
such as intelligent computation, automatic transmissions, and in-network processing, such
capabilities are constrained by their limited processing capability and memory footprint as
well as the need for the sensor batteries to be cautiously consumed in order to extend their
lifetime. This thesis revisits the issue of the energy efficiency in sensor networks by
proposing a novel clustering approach for routing the sensor readings in wireless sensor
networks. The main contribution of this dissertation is to 1) propose corrective measures to
the traditional energy model adopted in current sensor networks simulations that
erroneously discount both the role played by each node, the sensor node capability and
fabric and 2) apply these measures to a novel hierarchical routing architecture aiming at
maximizing sensor networks lifetime. We propose three energy models for sensor network:
a) a service-aware model that account for the specific role played by each node in a sensor
network b) a sensor-aware model and c) load-balancing energy model that accounts for the sensor node fabric and its energy footprint. These two models are complemented by a load balancing
model structured to balance energy consumption on the network of cluster heads
that forms the backbone for any cluster-based hierarchical sensor network. We present two
novel approaches for clustering the nodes of a hierarchical sensor network: a) a distanceaware
clustering where nodes are clustered based on their distance and the residual energy
and b) a service-aware clustering where the nodes of a sensor network are clustered
according to their service offered to the network and their residual energy. These
approaches are implemented into a family of routing protocols referred to as EOCIT
(Energy Optimization using Clustering Techniques) which combines sensor node energy
location and service awareness to achieve good network performance. Finally, building
upon the Ant Colony Optimization System (ACS), Multipath Routing protocol based on
Ant Colony Optimization approach for Wireless Sensor Networks (MRACO) is proposed
as a novel multipath routing protocol that finds energy efficient routing paths for sensor
readings dissemination from the cluster heads to the sink/base station of a hierarchical
sensor network. Our simulation results reveal the relative efficiency of the newly proposed
approaches compared to selected related routing protocols in terms of sensor network
lifetime maximization.

Topology management protocols in ad hoc wireless sensor networksKim, Hogil 15 May 2009 (has links)
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is comprised of a few hundred or thousand au-tonomous sensor nodes spatially distributed over a particular region. Each sensornode is equipped with a wireless communication device, a small microprocessor, anda battery-powered energy source. Typically, the applications of WSNs such as habitatmonitoring, re detection, and military surveillance, require data collection, process-ing, and transmission among the sensor nodes. Due to their energy constraints andhostile environments, the main challenge in the research of WSN lies in prolongingthe lifetime of WSNs.In this dissertation, we present four dierent topology management protocols forK-coverage and load balancing to prolong the lifetime of WSNs.First, we present a Randomly Ordered Activation and Layering (ROAL) protocolfor K-coverage in a stationary WSN. The ROAL suggests a new model of layer cov-erage that can construct a K-covered WSN using the layer information received fromits previously activated nodes in the sensing distance. Second, we enhance the faulttolerance of layer coverage through a Circulation-ROAL (C-ROAL) protocol. Us-ing the layer number, the C-ROAL can activate each node in a round-robin fashionduring a predened period while conserving reconguration energy. Next, MobilityResilient Coverage Control (MRCC) is presented to assure K-coverage in the presence of mobility, in which a more practical and reliable model for K-coverage with nodalmobility is introduced. Finally, we present a Multiple-Connected Dominating Set(MCDS) protocol that can balance the network trac using an on-demand routingprotocol. The MCDS protocol constructs and manages multiple backbone networks,each of which is constructed with a connected dominating set (CDS) to ensure a con-nected backbone network. We describe each protocol, and compare the performanceof our protocols with Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and/or existing K-coveragealgorithms through extensive simulations.The simulation results obtained by the ROAL protocol show that K-coverage canbe guaranteed with more than 95% coverage ratio, and signicantly extend networklifetime against a given WSN. We also observe that the C-ROAL protocol provides abetter reconguration method, which consumes only less than 1% of the recongura-tion energy in the ROAL protocol, with a greatly reduced packet latency. The MRCCprotocol, considering the mobility, achieves better coverage by 1.4% with 22% feweractive sensors than that of an existing coverage protocol for the mobility. The resultson the MCDS protocol show that the energy depletion ratio of nodes is decreasedconsequently, while the network throughput is improved by 35%.

Neighbor-Aware Gossip-Based Broadcasting Scheme for Wireless Sensor NetworksLin, Yen-pang 01 February 2010 (has links)
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), flooding is usually adopted by broadcast services to disseminate broadcast messages. However, flooding produces an excessive number of unnecessary control packets, markedly increasing overhead. This work proposes a new gossip-based scheme, in which nodes forward broadcast messages with dynamic probability to decrease the number of redundant messages and thereby improve energy efficiency. By using the novel probability table and adjustment mechanism based on neighbor conditions, nodes can obtain a suitable gossip probability. Furthermore, this work considers some special cases of uneven sensor deployment such as that contains nodes with a low degree. An efficient algorithm was also developed to maintain the stability of the proposed protocol. Hence, the proposed approach can deal with various topologies and node failure. Simulations demonstrate that applying the proposed scheme to control messages forwarding improves performance compared with that of existing gossip-based broadcasting schemes.
