Data Association Coverage Algorithm Based on Energy Balance and Controlled Parameters in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Based on a position-independent and computationally simple node scheduling algorithm, a scheduling algorithm based on energy balance is proposed. The analysis and simulation results showed that the algorithm can extend the lifespan of the entire network whereas ensuring energy balance. Data aggregation was a relatively time-consuming operation in sensor networks, especially in high-density networks. Therefore, minimizing the problem of data aggregation delay had become a hot topic of research. The algorithm adopted a clustering idea of low power in the cluster and high power between clusters, combined with channel allocation to reduce data aggregation delay, and data aggregation between clusters can be performed without collisions. The number of channels used in different network topologies tends to be constant.
