Optimization of stability period in wireless sensor network

Abstract

ABSTRACT newline newlineIn the scope of this research, a comprehensive approach has been adopted to address newlinethe critical issue of conserving battery power in WSNs. The overarching goal is to newlineensure the longevity and sustained operation of these networks while optimizing their newlineperformance. To achieve this, three distinct mechanisms have been carefully newlineexamined and proposed. newlineIn the initial part of the study, the focus lies on the strategic pairing of sensor nodes newlineand the division of the monitoring field. newlineBy pairing nodes strategically, the network can newlineefficiently utilize the available resources. Nodes within each pair can collaborate and newlineshare tasks, thus reducing redundancy and conserving precious battery power. newlineFurthermore, dividing the monitoring field into manageable sections allows for more newlinetargeted data collection, reducing the need for excessive data transmission and newlineprocessing. This, in turn, translates to significant energy savings and enhanced newlinenetwork efficiency. newlineThe second facet of this research delves into the issue of isolated nodes within the newlinenetwork. Isolated nodes, which are not efficiently connected to the network, can lead newlineiv newlineto inefficiencies and unnecessary power drain as they attempt to maintain newlineconnectivity. To tackle this problem, innovative mechanisms are proposed to newlineeliminate isolated nodes entirely. Building upon the initial node pairing concept, these newlinemechanisms further optimize the cluster radius, ensuring that no nodes are left newlineisolated. This optimization not only enhances network connectivity but also newlinesignificantly improves network performance. By eliminating isolated nodes, the newlinenetwork operates as a more cohesive and integrated unit, reducing energy wastage and newlineprolonging its operational lifespan. newlineThe third and final aspect of this research explores the integration of energy newlineharvesting mechanisms. Energy harvesting involves capturing and utilizing ambient newlineenergy sources, such as solar radiation, to supplement the conventional battery power newlineof sensor nodes. newline
