A 2-Approximation Algorithm for Optimal Deployment of k Base Stations in WSNs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the problem of deploying k base stations in a wireless sensor network such that the maximum shortest hop distance from all the sensor nodes to their designated base stations is minimised. We propose a 2-approximation algorithm for this problem, and prove that a (2− ǫ)-approximation algorithm does not exist unless P = NP holds. The time complexity of our 2-approximation algorithm is O(n log n), where n is the number of sensor nodes of the wireless sensor network. In the special case where k is 1, we propose an O(n) time algorithm that is guaranteed to find the optimal location of the base station. Furthermore, we show that our previous heuristic for balancing clusters of sensors can be modified to significantly improve the performance of our 2-approximation

Gravitational Search Algorithm to Solve the K-of-N Lifetime Problem in Two-Tiered WSNs
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of autonomous nodes used for monitoring an environment. In designing WSNs, one of the main issues is limited energy source for each sensor node. Hence, offering ways to optimize energy consumption in WSNs which eventually increases the network lifetime is strongly felt. Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is a novel stochastic population-based meta-...

In this paper, we study WSN design, as a multi-objective optimization problem using GA technique. We study the effects of GA parameters including population size, selection and crossover method and mutation probability on the design. Choosing suitable parameters is a trade-off between different network criteria and characteristics. Type of deployment, effect of network size, radio communication...

متن کاملA Game Theoretic Optimization Method for Energy Efficient Global Connectivity in Hybrid Wireless Sensor Networks
For practical deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSN), WSNs construct clusters, where a sensor node communicates with other nodes in its cluster, and a cluster head support connectivity between the sensor nodes and a sink node. In hybrid WSNs, cluster heads have cellular network interfaces for global connectivity. However, when WSNs are active and the load of cellular networks is high, the...
متن کاملA hybrid DEA-based K-means and invasive weed optimization for facility location problem
In this paper, instead of the classical approach to the multi-criteria location selection problem, a new approach was presented based on selecting a portfolio of locations. First, the indices affecting the selection of maintenance stations were collected. The K-means model was used for clustering the maintenance stations. The optimal number of clusters was calculated through the Silhou...
