Abstract
Utility tunnels are an important part of smart cities. This research focuses on the application of wireless sensors networks (WSNs) in utility tunnels. The utility tunnel space and Chinese utility tunnel building standard are considered in the design process. An adaptive subunit clustering multi-hop protocol (ASCMP) is proposed. In this protocol, some improvements are applied to increase the WSN's performance, such as cluster head (CH) election, network transmission, and node energy setting. Finally, ASCMP is compared with three other classic WSNs, namely, LEACH, SEP, and M-LEACH. Simulation results demonstrate that ASCMP's data transfer rate and lifetime increase by 71.76% and 200%, respectively, as shown by MATLAB 2012a simulations.
Highlights
Recent advances in the economy, society and technology have resulted in unprecedented and dramatic changes in china, and urbanization continues to expand the sizes of the cities [1]
It was shown that improvements in wireless sensors networks (WSNs) routing protocols with directional application environments have focused on certain aspects such as node deployment, clustering, and transmission methods [17]
The time of the first dead nodes is related to the clustering strategy in SEP, which may lead to more uneven energy consumption in linear applications such as utility tunnels
Summary
Recent advances in the economy, society and technology have resulted in unprecedented and dramatic changes in china, and urbanization continues to expand the sizes (urban area and functions) of the cities [1]. It was shown that improvements in WSN routing protocols with directional (target) application environments have focused on certain aspects such as node deployment, clustering, and transmission methods [17]. Cluster-based protocols are used to select the CH and send information through the CHs. As for utility tunnel WSNs, their network structures can be regarded as a linear network. For a long duration after starting, the distance and number of information transmissions represent a game state In this case, the ASCMP improves the linear communication of the utility tunnel environment in terms of clustering strategy and the number of cluster heads. MATLAB is used to simulate ASCMP, LEACH, SEP and M-LEACH and to compare the main performances of the four protocols
