Short-hops vs. Long-hops - Energy Efficiency Analysis in Wireless Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensor networks consist of miniaturized wireless sensor nodes with limited capacity and energy source. As sensors may be deployed in a large area, radio transceivers are the most energy consumer in sensor nodes, so their usage need to be very efficient in order to maximize network’s life. A node can route it’s messages towards destination either by using small or large hops, so optimizing the hop length can extend significantly the lifetime of the network. This paper provides a simple condition, to verify, which makes the energy consumption minimal by choosing ideal hop’s length. Keywords-Wireless Sensor Network;Energy Efficiency;Multihop Routing;Hop Length; network’s life;

Coding for Energy Efficient Multihop Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper studies the effect of coding on the energy consumption of multihop communications in Wireless Sensor Networks. In these networks, there are strict energy consumption constraints because the battery capacity at each node is limited and the goal is to maximize the lifetime of the network. An analytical radio model for energy consumption is used to study the effect of different codes on...
متن کاملA multi-hop PSO based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks
A sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are distributed in a large geographic environment to collect data. Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor network researches because it is important to determine the location of an event. On the other side, finding the location of a wireless sensor node by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not appropriate du...
متن کاملFinding an Optimum Transmission Range in a multi-sink Wireless sensor network to make a tradeoff between delay and energy consumption
Increasing the lifetime in wireless sensor networks is a major challenge because the nodes are equipped with low power batteries. The effective way to increase the energy efficiency is to reduce the transmission overheads and to choose accurate routing technique for data transmission. When two communicating nodes are not in range of each other in wireless Sensor networks, they need to rely on m...
متن کاملInteraction of Coding and Multihop Transmission in Wireless Networks
For multihop wireless networks, a fundamental question is whether it is advantageous to route over many short hops (short-hop routing) or over a smaller number of longer hops (long-hop routing). Short-hop routing has gained a lot of support, and its proponents mainly produce two arguments: higher SNR at every hop and smaller interference. This paper focuses on the first argument and examines di...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Network Lifetime and Energy Consumption in a Multi-Hop Wireless Sensor Network
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are recently attracting a lot of interest due to their low cost. They are rapidly replacing the wired data acquisition systems due to the ability to use them in benign environments. However, WSNs suffer from many constraints, including low computation capability, small memory, susceptibility to physical capture, the lack of infrastructure and limited energy resou...
