Bandit Learning with Concurrent Transmissions for Energy-Efficient Flooding in Sensor Networks
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks and Intelligent Systems - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 13
Abstract
Concurrent transmissions, a novel communication paradigm, has been shown to e ectively accomplish a reliable and energy-eÿcient flooding in low-power wireless networks. With multiple nodes exploiting a receive-and-forward scheme in the network, this technique inevitably introduces communication redundancy and consequently raises the energy consumption of the nodes. In this article, we propose Less is More (LiM), an energy-eÿcient flooding protocol for wireless sensor networks. LiM builds on concurrent transmissions, exploiting constructive interference and the capture e ect to achieve high reliability and low latency. Moreover, LiM is equipped with a machine learning capability to progressively reduce redundancy while maintaining high reliability. As a result, LiM is able to significantly reduce the radio-on time and therefore the energy consumption. We compare LiM with our baseline protocol Glossy by extensive experiments in the 30-node testbed FlockLab. Experimental results show that LiM highly reduces the broadcast redundancy in flooding. It outperforms the baseline protocol in terms of radio-on time, while attaining a high reliability of over 99.50% and an average end-to-end latency around 2 milliseconds in all experimental scenarios.
