Development of a wireless sensor network simulator using energy-efficient traffic routing methods

Abstract

This document represents possible algorithms and methods for the analysis, optimization, and control of wireless sensor networks. The main goal of the work is to find the optimal implementation of the particle swarm optimization method for solving the problem of improving the energy consumption of such networks. The result of the work is a software package for simulating WSN (Wireless sensor network) networks using all the methods of routing and optimization of WSN networks presented in the work. The usage of a combination of routing schemes and different systems of device state management raises the wireless sensor network lifetime and reduces the power consumption of the network. The developed and presented in the work network simulator allows any developer to design and test different network topologies with various network parameters. Such software will make it easy to design such networks both for large enterprises and independent developers.
