“…There are also few algorithms that allow a dynamic allocation of data streams in sensor networks that are compliant with the 802.15.4 standard. There are some protocol solutions that consider the dynamic change of bitrate, but their usability is limited only to selected types of networks and applications [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…However, these investigations are limited to homogeneous radio links, which may limit their applicability in heterogeneous networks. Papers [17,18] focus on changes in the rules of timeslot's assignment in the TDMA network, but without any changes in physical layer parameters, and are also limited to one radio interface only. In contrary, in this paper, the authors proposed an algorithm of adaptive data rate selection without changing the timeslot arrangement.…”

In the article, a novel bitrate adaptation method for data streams allocation in heterogeneous Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is presented. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was compared with other known algorithms of data stream allocation using computer simulation. A dedicated simulator has been developed using results of measurements in the real environment. The usage of the proposed adaptive data streams allocation method by transmission rate adaptation based on radio channel parameters can increase the efficiency of resources’ usage in a heterogeneous WBANs, in relation to fixed bitrates transmissions and the use of well-known algorithms. This increase of efficiency has been shown regardless of the mobile node placement on the human body.

“…Accordingly, in both DSBS or DSBB, nodes with more packets in their buffer get extra slots in the subsequent TDMA schedule. Compared to a previous work [7] where the performance of the proposed techniques is evaluated only in normal situations, this work addresses the emergence context and demonstrates how further energy consumption can be avoided.…”

Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) can improve the reliability and efficiency of WBAN. However, traditional static TDMA techniques adopted by IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 do not sufficiently consider the channel status or the buffer requirements of the nodes within heterogeneous contexts. Although there are some solutions that have been proposed to alleviate the effect of the deep fade in WBAN channel by adopting dynamic slot allocation, these solutions still suffer from some reliability and energy efficiency issues and they do not avoid channel deep fading. This paper presents two novel and generic TDMA based techniques to improve WBAN reliability and energy efficiency. Both techniques synchronize nodes adaptively whilst tackling their channel and buffer status in normal and emergency contexts. Extensive simulation experiments using various traffic rates and time slot lengths demonstrate that the proposed techniques improve the reliability and the energy efficiency compared to IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 in both situations, the normal and emergency contexts. This improvement has been achieved in terms of packet loss, up to 90% and energy consumption, up to 13%, confirming the significant enhancements made by the developed scheduling techniques.

“…This technology has various beneficial applications in other fields like healthcare, military, transportation, security, and agriculture. In healthcare, sensor nodes have deployed to collect the patient physiological or biometric information such as ECG, heart rate, and blood pressure [4]. In the military, sensor nodes are deployed to track the soldiers on the battlefield, for monitoring, find the location of platoons, and protect the forces.…”

Optimized Cluster-Based Dynamic Energy-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks in Agriculture Precision

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming one of the demanding platforms, where sensor nodes are sensing and monitoring the physical or environmental conditions and transmit the data to the base station via multihop routing. Agriculture sector also adopted these networks to promote innovations for environmental friendly farming methods, lower the management cost, and achieve scientific cultivation. Due to limited capabilities, the sensor nodes have suffered with energy issues and complex routing processes and lead to data transmission failure and delay in the sensor-based agriculture fields. Due to these limitations, the sensor nodes near the base station are always relaying on it and cause extra burden on base station or going into useless state. To address these issues, this study proposes a Gateway Clustering Energy-Efficient Centroid-(GCEEC-) based routing protocol where cluster head is selected from the centroid position and gateway nodes are selected from each cluster. Gateway node reduces the data load from cluster head nodes and forwards the data towards the base station. Simulation has performed to evaluate the proposed protocol with state-of-the-art protocols. The experimental results indicated the better performance of proposed protocol and provide more feasible WSN-based monitoring for temperature, humidity, and illumination in agriculture sector.
