Locating Base-Stations for Video Sensor Networks

چکیده
For a wireless video sensor network (WiViSeN) where video nodes have been placed at some strategic locations to capture designated scenes, an immediate challenge is to locate the base-station optimally such that the network lifetime of batterypowered video nodes can be maximized. This paper presents two schemes, one centralized and the other distributed, to obtain the optimal base-station location algorithmically under the proposed definition of topological lifetime. The upper and lower bounds of maximal topological lifetime are derived to enable a quick assessment of energy provisioning feasibility and topology control necessity. In addition, the proposed research provides a foundation to introduce the relay and cluster techniques that can further prolong network lifetime.

Geometric Chemotaxis: A Biologically-Inspired Framework for a Class of Wireless Coverage Problems
We present a new, biologically-inspired algorithm for the problem of covering a given region with wireless “units” (sensors or base-stations). The general problem, framed mathematically as the problem of covering a polygon with a minimum number of circles, is applicable both to sensor networks in which the units are sensors with known sensing range and to wireless networks in which the units ar...

متن کاملA Cluster-Based Data Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks
To promise low energy consumption for wireless sensor network routing, a number of routing protocols have been published. A novel routing protocol called BeamStar was proposed in [6]. In BeamStar, each base station uses a directional antenna with power control to assist locating sensors. It shifts the burden of network control and management from resource-limited sensors to resource-abundant an...
