The energy-efficient algorithm for a sensor network

Abstract

We considered a network that consists of massively deployed tiny energy constrained sensors with one sink node to communicate with the outer world. The key challenge in design of wireless sensor networks is maximizing its lifetime. We explored this challenge and proposed our algorithm to increase a network lifetime. A node lifetime and numerical analysis show the comparison of the proposed algorithm with existing algorithm to increase a network lifetime. The proposed algorithm increases a critical node lifetime by 38% and hence a network lifetime. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
