Pipelined Forwarding with Energy Balance in Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is composed of sink and sensors. Sensors transmit data to sink through wireless network after collecting data. Because multi-hop routing and forwarding may be required on WSN, sensors closer to sink will consume more energy than other nodes due to hop-by-hop forwarding. In this Thesis, we propose pipelined forwarding for cluster-based WSN to solve these problems. First, we divide a WSN into several clusters such that the distance between sensors and sink is reduced and packet transmission delay can be decreased. However, since reducing the distance can increase the number of clusters significantly, multiple mobile sinks are embedded in the system to increase overall throughput. Second, we change the direction of pipelined forwarding to avoid from running out of energy of some sensors.
We derive mathematical equations to analyze and validate the proposed scheme. From the analytical results, we prove that the proposed scheme can decrease packet transmission delay. The results also show that system throughput can be improved by increasing the length of pipeline and the number of mobile sinks. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme can increase energy throughput more efficiently than conventional non-pipelined forwarding scheme.
