Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a technology commonly used for remote monitoring, tracking and detection applications. Since energy efficiency is a major concern in WSN, to know the remaining energy on each node could optimize the energy consumption. We propose a novel method to create an energy map for a Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Network (SDWSN). We implement an energy consumption prediction model into the controller, which obtains information of each node and estimates its energy consumption rate. This approach reduces the node processing overhead and memory usage when compared to other approach available.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
