Reliable Storage System With Priority Filter and Load Balance Collection Model for Large Scale Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor network are widely used in various types of environmental monitoring and there are also many applications in the industrial field, we usually deploy sensor nodes in the corresponding areas to monitor and collect relevant data, waiting for a sink node to collect the stored data for further analysis and decision. But in some extremely harsh scenarios, the living environment of the sensor node is very bad, hence the data on the nodes will always lose. Generally, we use LT Codes to improve data persistence. However, some difficult problems with regard to the efficiency of coding and decoding of data can not be resolved by traditional solutions. In terms of the above problems, this paper improves the traditional coding method by reducing the number of encoded packets, so that the network congestion can be alleviated under the premise of successful data coding. What's more, we propose an edge layered collection model and a new coding strategy Edge Layering Fountain Codes (ELFC) based on the model, each sensor node inside the network sends its data to the edge nodes which are relatively safe to ensure the secure collection of data and allocate the resource consumption of the sensor nodes around the sink node. On this basis, the Ordered Edge Layering Fountain Codes (OELFC) is further proposed. The OELFC can collect data packets in a low degree-to-high degree manner, which greatly improves the efficiency of data decoding.
