Conservação de energia em redes de sensores sem fio.

Abstract

This paper aims to propose algorithms for energy conservation in a wireless sensor network (WSN) applied to monitoring a smooth process f (x, y, t), which depends on x and y coordinates of the sensor nodes, and the time t so as to increase the autonomy of the network. The algorithms run in the application layer of each node, and are designed to save energy of the nodes through the management of the need for transmissions. Furthermore, each node can remain idle (saving energy) between these transmissions. In single hop WSNs, we propose two algorithms: one based on the source, where each node is responsible for all processing and decision making, and another based on the sink, where all processing and decision making are performed by the sink. In addition, an algorithm based on the extent of power is proposed for multi-hop WSNs. From the results obtained, it is observed that the algorithms have achieved a significant reduction of the number of transmissions, which leads to an increase in the life time and the error in the reconstruction process is presented. In this way, one can combine the relationship between maximum life span and minimum reconstruction error.
