Smart communication of a WSN based on an MAS

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are designed to collect information across a large number of limited battery sensor nodes. Therefore, it is important to minimize the energy consumption of each node, which leads to the extension of the network life. Our goal is to design a smart WSN that collects as much information as possible and processes it intelligently. To achieve this goal, an agent has been migrated to each node in order to process the information and to cooperate with these neighboring nodes. While Mobile Agents (MAs) can be used to reduce information between nodes and send them to the base station (Sink).This article proposes to use communication architecture for Multi-Agent System (MAS) based WSNs to ensure optimal information collection. The collaboration of these agents generates a simple message that summarizes the important information in order to transmit by a mobile agent. To reduce the size of the MAs, the nodes of the network have been grouped into sectors. As for each MA, we have established an optimal route, consuming a minimum amount of energy with the data aggregation efficiency in a minimum time.Successive simulations in large scale sensor networks show the performance of our proposal, in terms of energy consumption and package delivery rate
