Communication- and position-aware reconfigurable route optimization in large-scale mobile sensor networks (original) (raw)
2014, EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking
We consider the problem of route selection and optimization for a mobile sensor network, which involves two nodes transferring information over a large area using a number of intermediate routers in the presence of noise, path loss, multipath fading, and interference. The communication-and position-aware reconfigurable (COMPARE) route optimization framework is proposed to improve the end-to-end throughput of the routes in the realistic communication environment. Initially, a communication-aware route selection strategy selects the optimal route by integrating the routing decisions with the link quality. The quality of the wireless link is characterized by the reception probability, i.e., the probability of successfully receiving packets over a realistic communication link. The selected route is reconfigured by exploiting the multipath fading, position information, and the mobility of the nodes during the phase of position-aware optimization. The optimal position for a router is heuristically found using a priori information about fading channels and the positions of transmitting and interfering nodes. The router is guided to the optimal position using the feedback mobility control, and only the route selected by the COMPARE framework is used for data transmission between the source and destination node. We illustrate through simulations that the proposed framework provides routes with considerably better performance than conventional route selection metrics, in terms of the end-to-end throughput.

Communication-Aware Route Selection in Wireless Sensor Networks
2014
We consider the problem of optimal route selection with the presence of path loss, multipath fading, interference, and environmental noise in wireless sensor networks. The communication-aware route selection strategy is proposed by incorporating realistic communication model portraying the underlying dynamics of wireless links. The link quality is characterized by probability of successfully received packets over a communication link, so-called reception probability. We utilize reception probability as a metric for communication quality oriented route selection and compare its performance with the conventional metrics i.e. Hop count and Euclidean distance. The simulation results demonstrate that reception probability based route selection provides optimal end-toend throughput in wireless sensor networks.
Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing
In a network setting, a sensor node's round-trip delay time over hostile nodes compromises the node's ability to transmit data from the sender node to the destination node. Minimum distance path discovery causes the path failure, since aggressive nodes are available. Node connectivity is poor which should cause the packet loss; it does not control more energy consumption, since packet broadcasting is repeated for many times using that path. So, the proposed intertwine connection-based routing path selection (ICBRPS) technique allows only energy efficient routing path, path connectivity is important, and routing path is damaged because of the presence of aggressive nodes. It hacks the information from sensor and operates unpredictable manner. The objective of this presented ICBRPS scheme is to improve the routing path in efficient manner. If any damages occur during the transmission of data, then the alternate best node connectivity path is created by energetic route discover...
An Optimization Technique for Routing in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) becomes a very popular technology and enabling new applications in this era. It is highly demanding in the civil and military applications. WSN nodes may be mobile. So it can be called Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN). MWSNs require unconventional protocols due to several environmental constraints. A proper balance between communication and signal/data processing capabilities must be found. In this paper, four of the most important performance metrics of MWSNs was analyzed and tested to observe and compare the throughput, Packets delivery fraction, average end to end delay and normalized routing loads of the Network. It was implemented to compare the network's behavior with five routing protocols (DSR, DSDV, AODV, OLSR and AOMDV) to select the best routing protocol from the point of view of the user. This was done with the help of simulation results derived by using Network Simulator (NS-2) for certain proposed Network Model in different scenarios. The purpose of this paper is to build a mathematical model that can be used to select the optimal number of required nodes, optimal speed and optimal pause time for each new designed Wireless Sensor Network. New mathematical models were developed depending on these metrics to find certain output values. The final simulation results showed that this model is more flexible and efficient in designing the optimal routing protocol (which is the best among the available routing protocols) for any new designed MWSN.
Link Quality Aware Route Selection in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper studies the problem of opti- mal route selection in heterogeneous wireless sensor net- works. The link quality aware route selection strat- egy is proposed by integrating realistic communication model depicting the underlying dynamics of wireless links. The Rician/Rayleigh fading environments consid- ers communication channels with both dominant Line of Sight (LOS) and non-dominant LOS (NLOS) where the desired signal between two sensor nodes is represented by Rician fading channel while the interfering signals are modelled by Rayleigh fading channel. Link quality is portrayed by reception probability i.e. probability of successfully received packets over a communication link. Reception probability of Rician/Rayleigh fading channel is utilized as a metric for link quality aware route selec- tion. Rician/Rayleigh metric based performance is com- pared with conventional route selection metrics based on simplified communication models. The simulation results demonstrate that incorporating Rician/Rayleigh metric based link quality in route selection process pro- tional ones such as shadowing and doppler effects. The dominant effect in such scenarios is characterized by Ri- cian fading which appears when there is a line of sight between transmitting and receiving nodes. The received signal is considered as a set of scattered components plus a dominant component, thus interference characteristics in heterogeneous networks are significantly different than in homogeneous networks. Different interference scenar- ios in heterogeneous networks are provided in [5] and it can be inferred that it is highly probable to have a situ- ation where the desired signal experiences line-of-sight and interfering signals experience non-line-of-sight con- ditions. In this paper, link quality aware route selection scheme is proposed to estimate the quality of communication us- ing realistic communication links in Rician/Rayleigh fad- ing environment. This scheme uses reception probabil- ity as a metric to search for high end-to-end throughput routes. This integration of link quality and route selection is necessary to realize the realistic capacities of wireless sensor networks. 2. Related Work The conventional wireless route selection schemes in multihop networks are based on simplified communica- tion models such as binary link model where nodes per- fectly communicate within a transmission radius [6]. The Hop Count (HC) metric is based on the concept of binary link model and is widely used in ad hoc networks [7] [8] because of its simplicity in implementation. Hop Count metric aims to minimize the number of hops on the route between source and destination nodes. Another popular approach is to use Euclidean Distance (ED) as route se- lection metric utilizing the geographic position of nodes [9]. This metric relies on disk graph models where sig- nal strength decays according to distance [10] [11][12] neglecting the fact that link quality can change drasti- cally due to fading. The route selection metrics based on simplistic communication models does not generate routes with higher throughput as it neglects the sensitiv- ity of wireless links. [13] show that variations of wire- less links in realistic environment strongly influence the performance of ad hoc wireless networks. Furthermore, [14] explained that simplistic assumptions of disk models yields unrealistic inclusions and limitations. Recently, link quality incorporation with route selec- tion is considered to find the high quality routes. A link quality estimation based routing protocol (LQER) is pre- vides routes with optimal end-to-end throughput.
Route Quality Evolution with Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Qos Parameters
2018
An energy-effective routing is a fundamental task in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) topology. It supplies a better cost metric covering wireless route quality. Quality of Service(QoS) is behold critical design disquiet in routing protocols for WSN. Both energy and QoS parameters are used to assess network communication performance. In this study an evaluation conducted to Secure Mobile Sink Node location using Dynamic Routing Protocol (SMSNDRP) into two phases: routing generating and routing evaluation. In routing generating phase, the best path is selected based on the minimum distance between (Cluster head CH and mobile Sink Node SN) and highest CH residual energy. While in routing evaluation phase, the quality of each path is measured via creating five scenarios, one for static SN and four for mobile SN. The NS 2.35 simulator is used to implement the routing evaluation phase. The main aim of this study is proposes a technique to specify the best quality route that meets the QoS ...
Throughput Optimization for Mobile Sensor Networks under Rayleigh Multipath Fading
We present a framework for optimal route selection and throughput optimization for mobile sensor networks in pres- ence of Rayleigh multipath fading. The framework is constituted of two main stages i.e. Communication Aware Optimization (CAO) and Position Aware Optimization (PAO). CAO utilizes a communication quality oriented routing metric into the route selection problem to search for a high throughput route against the fading effects. The throughput of the selected route is further optimized by exploiting the multipath fading problem with PAO. PAO identifies the bottleneck link and the corresponding router on the CAO selected route, then heuristically finds an optimal position where the overall throughput is improved. The optimal position is computed using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the router is driven by a feedback mobility control. We include simulation studies to illustrate aspects of the proposed throughput optimization framework and compare the perfor- mance with other route selection strategies based on simplified communication models.
Self-selecting reliable path routing in diverse wireless sensor network environments
Routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) face three major performance challenges. The first one is an efficient use of bandwidth that minimizes the transfer delay of packets between nodes to ensure the shortest end-to-end delay for packet transmission from source to destination. The second challenge is the ability to maintain data flow around permanent and transient node or link failures ensuring the maximum delivery rate of packets from source to destination. The final challenge is to efficiently use energy while maximizing delivery rate and minimizing end-to-end delay. Protocols that establish a permanent route between source and destination send packets from node to node quickly, but suffer from costly route recalculation in the event of any node or link failures. Protocols that select the next hop at each node on the traversed path suffer from a delay required to make such selection. The way in which a protocol repairs routes determines the number of packets lost by each failure and ultimately affects the energy used for communication. This paper presents a novel family of wireless sensor routing protocols, the Self-Selecting Reliable Path Routing Protocol Family (SSRPF), that address all three of the afore-mentioned challenges.
Cost-efficient routing with controlled node mobility in sensor networks
2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2011
In this paper, an energy-efficient strategy is proposed for tracking a moving target in a mobile sensor network. The energy expenditure of the sensors in the network is assumed to be due to communication, sensing and movement. First, the target area is divided into a grid of sufficiently small rectangular cells in order to search for near optimal locations for the sensors in different time instants. The grid is then converted to a graph with properly weighted edges. A shortest-path algorithm is subsequently applied to route the information flow from the target to destination using a subset of sensors.
