In practice, sensor nodes (SN) are battery-powered devices and the variant rate of depletion of power in the devices can hamper the network’s efficient operation as the node lifetimes directly affect the network lifetime of wireless sensor network (WSN). There are normally, in practical systems, certain considerations taken at each layer to prolong the network lifetime. This paper focuses on the topology control process. The authors propose a new auto-configurable algorithm to re-organize the network topology efficiently. The proposed algorithm merges both cell merging and cell manager selection process together and is applied in clustered homogeneous cellular architecture. The simulation result proves that the proposed algorithm consumes less power and consequently prolongs the network lifetime than the existing auto-configurable algorithm
This paper proposed an auto-configurable algorithm for wireless sensor network (WSN) to efficiently re-organize the network topology. The auto-configurable algorithm is based on self-configurable cellular architecture and it has been observed from simulation result that the proposed algorithm achieves lower power consumption than the existing one.
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.
