WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK ESTABLISHMENT
We construct a wireless sensor network which consists of number of sensor nodes
and a sink where the data falls from all sensor nodes. The sensor nodes monitor the given
area or any other else, and informs the sink periodically.
With respect to routing, we assume that a single route is used from each sensor to
the sink. This implies that the routes from the nodes to the sink define a directed tree,
rooted at the sensor network's sink. This is a conventional approach in general data
networks and sensor networks in particular.
POWER CONSUMPTION MODEL
In order to minimize power consumption, nodes remain in a sleep
mode most of the time, while adhering to the following two simple
rules
1) An inner node in the virtual routing tree, i.e., a node that
serves as a parent to at least one of its neighbors, must wake up
periodically, in order to receive packets from its children. These
children know the times when it switches from sleep to active. The
node stays active as long as it receives packets from its neighbors.
After a time-out period of not receiving any packet, the node returns to
sleep mode.
2) Every node also wakes up when its parent wakes up if and
only if it needs to forward a packet through the parent to the sink.
Energy depletion is not governed by the amount of transmitted
data, but by the time the sensors spend in active mode. An optimal
assignment of wake-up frequencies to nodes is an assignment that
guarantees an upper bound on the maximum delay while minimizing
the total energy spent by the nodes in active mode.
