Mobile Coordinated Wireless Sensor Network an Energy Efficient Scheme for Real Time Transmission

Abstract

This Mobile Coordinated Wireless Sensor Network An Energy Efficient Scheme for Real Time Transmission paper introduces the Mobile Access Coordinated Wireless Sensor Network (MC-WSN), a novel energy-efficient scheme for time-sensitive applications.Mobile access points (MAs) traverse the network in conventional sensor networks with mobile access points (SENMA) to collect information directly from individual sensors.

In this paper, we investigate the optimal topology design that minimizes the average number of hops from sensor to MA and provides the analysis of the throughput in both single and multi-path routing cases.

We also provide a unified framework for wireless network modeling and characterization by placing MC-WSN in the broader picture of network design and development.

We analyzed the throughput performance of MC-WSN. It has been shown that MC-WSN achieves much higher throughput and energy efficiency than conventional SENMA with active network deployment and hop number control.

Conclusion

In this paper, a mobile access coordinated wireless sensor networks (MC-WSN) architecture was proposedfor reliable, efficient, and time-sensitive information exchange. The hierarchical and heterogeneous structure makes the MC-WSN a highly resilient, reliable, and scalable architecture.

We provided the optimal topology design for MC-WSN to minimize the average number of hops from any sensor to MA. We analyzed the throughput performance of MC-WSN. Our analysis also indicated that with hop number control, network analysis becomes more tractable.

In addition, putting MC-WSN in the wider picture of network design and development, we provided a unified framework for wireless network modeling and characterization.
