This paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. The mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. The mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor node...

in this paper we proposed a cellular automaton based local algorithm to solve the autonomously sensor gathering problem in mobile wireless sensor networks (mwsn). in this problem initially the connected mobile sensors deployed in the network and goal is gather all sensors into one location. the sensors decide to move only based on their local information. cellular automaton (ca) as dynamical sy...

energy consumption is considered as a critical issue in wireless sensor networks (wsns). batteries of sensor nodes have limited power supply which in turn limits services and applications that can be supported by them. an efcient solution to improve energy consumption and even trafc in wsns is data aggregation (da) that can reduce the number of transmissions. two main challenges for da are: (i)...

clustering is an effective approach for managing nodes in wireless sensor network (wsn). a new method of clustering mechanism with using binary gravitational search algorithm (bgsa) in wsn, is proposed in this paper to improve the energy consumption of the sensor nodes.reducing the energy consumption of sensors in wsnsis the objective of this paper that is through selecting thesub optimum senso...

In order to achieve the sensing, communication and processing tasks of Wireless Sensor Networks, an energy-efficient routing protocol is required to manage the dissipated energy of the network and to minimalize the traffic and the overhead during the data transmission stages. Clustering is the most common technique to balance energy consumption amongst all sensor nodes throughout the network. I...

Visual data monitoring in wireless sensor networks can significantly enrich a large set of surveillance and general purpose monitoring applications. However, transmission of image snapshots or video streams can rapidly deplete the energy resources of the deployed nodes, turning energy efficiency into a major optimization issue. During wireless transmissions, packets can be corrupted directly af...
