Abstract
The communication based on electromagnetic waves in nonconventional media (underground and underwater environment) is not desirable because of high path loss, large antenna size, and dynamic channel behavior of the media. Magnetic induction (MI) based communication is recently explored technique for such type of media, which exhibits several promising characteristics, such as constant channel behavior, less propagation delay, and stealth underwater operations. In every wireless sensor network (WSNs), energy is a main constraint. The overall energy consumption of the network can be significantly reduced by clustering technique. The efficacy of clustering technique can be further improved by the incorporation of cooperative communication and energy harvesting (EH) techniques. This paper proposes cooperative communication over Rayleigh fading channels, EH-enabled energy-efficient design, and EH-enabled tree-based waveguide topology in MI-based clustered nonconventional WSNs. Furthermore, we perform an analytical modeling to find the total energy consumption and throughput of the network in three different media (dry soil, wet soil, and sea water).
