Optimization Design of Network Structure for WSN Data Collection Design Based on Delay Perception

Abstract

In order to solve such problems as large delay and large energy consumption in current wireless sensor network (WSN) during data collection, a network structure for WSN data collection based on delay perception is designed in this article. Firstly, the tree structure thought is introduced therein to divide WSN sensor nodes into multiple single-layer clusters with different sizes so as to construct a new network structure, thus to improve the topological structure and enable the cluster heads to complete the data communication in an interlaced mode as well as significantly reduce the delay during data collection; secondly, the model for calculating the delay and the energy consumption during WSN data collection is established in this article; thirdly, Top-Down technology is introduced therein to design the network structure formation algorithm, thus to optimize the energy consumption of the data collection mechanism through the communication distance minimization. The experiment shows: compared with existing network structure for WSN data collection, the proposed network structure can not only effectively reduce the delay during WSN data collection, but also maintain the whole communication energy consumption at a relatively low level.
