Adaptive energy-saving routing algorithm for inter-clustering communications in WSN by Wen-feng LI, Lian-feng SHEN, Jing HU

“…An adaptive routing algorithm was proposed for saving nter-clustering communication energy in wireless sensor networks (WSN).In the network,the end-to-end route discovery mechanism was based on the primary principle of the minimum communication costs.An algorithm was prop sed for inter-clustering communication optimization by adaptively selecting the most energy-efficient communication mode among direct,relaying and cooperative communications.The proposed routing algorithm guarantees that the source node can discover the minimum or sub-minimum energy consumption route to the base station.It also decreases the probability that the communications are interrupted due to the coverage holes.Compared with the other routing algorithms,the simu tion results show that the proposed routing algorithm makes WSN consume less energy in each round under the same throughput and bit error ratio (BER).It can also prolong the network lifetimes and operation times under the different node densities.…”

Study on distributed and dynamic resource management for delay-sensitive sensor network by Wei LIU, Jun LIU

“…The delay-aware dynamic resource management problem was investigated in sensor network,with a focus on resource allocation among the sensors and power control along the time.By taking account of average delay requirements and power constraints,the considered problem was formulated into a stochastic optimization problem.Inspired by Lyapunov optimization theory,the intractable stochastic optimization problem was transformed into a tractable deterministic optimization problem,which was a mixed-integer resource management problem.By exploiting the specific problem structure,the mixed-integer resource management problem was equivalently transformed into a single variable problem,and the cooperative distributed method was present to effectively solve it with guaranteed global optimality.Finally,a dynamic resource management algorithm was proposed to solve the original stochastic optimization problem.Simulation results show the performance of the proposed dynamic algorithm and reveal that there exists a fundamental tradeoff between delay requirements and power consumption.…”
