PCA-Guided Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

An important performance concern for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is the total energy dissipated by all the nodes in the network over the course of network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a routing algorithm termed as PCA-guided routing algorithm (PCA-RA) by exploring the principal component analysis (PCA) approach. Our algorithm remarkably reduces energy consumption and prolongs network lifetime by realizing the objective of minimizing the sum of distances between the nodes and the cluster centers in a WSN network. It is demonstrated that the PCA-RA can be efficiently implemented in WSNs by forming a nearly optimal K-means-like clustering structure. In addition, it can decrease the network load while maintaining the accuracy of the sensor measurements during data aggregating process. We validate the efficacy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm by simulations. Both theoretical analyses and simulation results demonstrate that this algorithm can perform significantly with less energy consumption and thus prolong the system lifetime for the networks.

“…This is beneficial in comparison with the other nearest neighbour algorithms which are restricted to predefined distances alone. Clustering and data reduction methods can be utilized to optimise the energy efficiency of WSN [18] . Through dimensionality reduction, the similarity between the sensor readings can be obtained.…”

Lifetime Enhancement of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Using Data Compression

“…WSN are resource constraints such as less communication bandwidth, limited energy supply, less storage and less computing power (Akyildiz & Cayirci, 2002). In recent past, there has been a significant improvement in WSN that improve the processor design and computing issues, but limitation of battery provision still exists (Chen & Zhang, 2012).…”
