Quantifying Application Communication Reliability of Wireless Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the problem of modeling and analyzing the application communication reliability of wireless sensor networks (WSN) with different topologies, including star, tree, mesh, and hierarchical clustering. We propose reliability measures that integrate the conventional connectivity-based network reliability with the sensing coverage measure of WSN. We apply a reduced ordered binary decision diagram (ROBDD) based progressive approach for evaluating the proposed coverage-oriented application communication reliability of WSN. Our study will provide useful insights for the WSN designers in choosing the appropriate network topology. We illustrate the basics and advantages of our approach by working through the analysis of an example WSN.

Quasi Random Deployment Strategy for Reliable Communication Backbones in Wireless Sensor Networks
Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...
متن کاملAn Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...
