Application of Weighted Centroid Approach in Base Station Localization for Minimization of Multipath Losses in Wireless Sensor Networks
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
A Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consisting of sensor with strategic locations, and a base-stations (BSs) whose locations are relatively flexible. A sensor cluster consists of many small sensor nodes (SNs) that capture, encode, and transmit relevant information from a designated area. This article is focused on the topology of positioning process for BSs in WSNs. Heterogeneous SNs are battery-powered and energy-constrained, their node lifetime directly affects the network lifetime of WSNs. We have proposed an algorithmic approach to locate BSs optimally such that we can maximize the topological network lifetime of WSNs deterministically, even when the initial energy provisioning for SNs is no longer always proportional to their average bit-stream rate. The obtained optimal BS locations are under different length of area field and number of nodes according to the mission criticality of WSNs. By studying energy consumption due to space loss and amplification losses in WSNs, we establish the upper and lower bounds of maximal topological parameters of area and number of nodes, which enable a quick assessment of energy provisioning feasibility and topology necessity. Numerical results and surface plot are given to demonstrate the efficiency and optimality of the proposed topology of BSs positioning approaches designed for maximizing network lifetime of WSNs.
