This paper addresses the maximizing network lifetime problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) taking
into account the total Symbol Error rate (SER) at destination. Therefore, efficient power management is
needed for extend network lifetime. Our approach consists to provide the optimal transmission power
using the orthogonal multiple access channels between each sensor. In order to deeply study the
properties of our approach, firstly, the simple case is considered; the information sensed by the source
node passes by a single relay before reaching the destination node. Secondly, global case is studied; the
information passes by several relays. We consider, in the previous both cases, that the batteries are nonrechargeable. Thirdly, we spread our work the case where the batteries are rechargeable with unlimited
storage capacity. In all three cases, we suppose that Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) is used as a
detector, and Amplify and Forward (AF) as a relaying strategy. Simulation results show the viability of
our approach which the network lifetime is extended of more than 70.72%when the batteries are non
rechargeable and 100.51% when the batteries are rechargeable in comparison with other traditional
method.
Scalability Aware Energy Consumption and Dissipation Models for Wireless Sens...
This document compares two energy consumption and dissipation models for wireless sensor networks: the model proposed by Heinzelman et al. and the model proposed by Halgamuge et al. The Halgamuge et al. model considers additional energy sources such as transient energy, sensor sensing, sensor logging, and actuation. Simulation results show that the average energy dissipation is higher when using the Halgamuge et al. model due to the additional energy sources considered. The optimal number of clusters is also more stable using the Halgamuge et al. model compared to the Heinzelman et al. model. In conclusion, the Halgamuge et al. model is more comprehensive and realistic for wireless sensor network simulations.

ENERGY EFFICIENT AGGREGATION WITH DIVERGENT SINK PLACEMENT FOR WIRELESS SENSO...
In WSN the data aggregation is a means for condensing the energy requirement by reducing number of
transmission by combining the data and sending the final required result to the base station. The lifetime
of the WSN can be improved by employing the aggregation techniques. During the process of aggregation
the numbers of transmission are reduced by combining the similar data from the nearby areas. By using
the clustering technique and aggregating the correlated data greatly minimize the energy consumed in
collecting and disseminating the data. In this work, we evaluate the performance of a novel energy
efficient cluster based aggregation protocol (EECAP) for WSN. The main focus in this proposed work is
to study the performance of our proposed aggregation protocol with divergent sink placements such as
when sink is at the centre of the sensing field, corner of the sensing field or at a location selected
randomly in the sensor field. We present experimental results by calculating the lifetime of network in
terms of number of sensing rounds using various parameters such as – average remaining energy of
nodes, number of dead nodes after the specified number of sensing rounds. Finally the performance of
various aggregation algorithms such as LEACH, SEP and our proposed aggregation protocol (EECAP)
are compared with divergent sink placements. The simulation results demonstrates that EECAP exhibits
good performance in terms of lifetime and the energy consumption of the wireless sensor networks and
which can be as equally compared with existing clustering protocols.

Efficient energy, cost reduction, and QoS based routing protocol for wireless...
Recent developments and widespread in wireless sensor network have led to many routing protocols, many of these protocols consider the efficiency of energy as the ultimate factor to maximize the WSN lifetime. The quality of Service (QoS) requirements for different applications of wireless sensor networks has posed additional challenges. Imaging and data transmission needs both QoS aware routing and energy to ensure the efficient use of sensors. In this paper, we propose an Efficient, Energy-Aware, Least Cost, (ECQSR) quality of service routing protocol for sensor networks which can run efficiently with best-effort traffic processing. The protocol aims to maximize the lifetime of the network out of balancing energy consumption across multiple nodes, by using the concept of service differentiation, finding lower cost by finding the shortest path using nearest neighbor algorithm (NN), also put certain constraints on the delay of the path for real-time data from where link cost that captures energy nodes reserve, energy of the transmission, error rate and other parameters. The results show that the proposed protocol improves the network lifetime and low power consumption.
Wireless sensor network are emerging in various fields like environmental monitoring, mining, surveillance
system, medical monitoring. LEACH protocol is one of the predominantly used clustering routing protocols
in wireless sensor networks. In Leach each node has equal chance to become a cluster head which make
the energy dissipated of each node be moderately balanced. We have pioneered an improved algorithm
named as Novel Leach based on Leach protocol. The proposed algorithm shows the significant
improvement in network lifetime .Comparison of proposed algorithm is done with basic leach in terms of
network life time, cluster head selection, energy consumption, and data transmission to base station. The
simulation results shows that proposed algorithm can reduce network energy consumption and prolong
network life commendably. Simulation of our protocol is done with Matlab.
This document studies the effects of dielectric superstrate thickness on microstrip patch antenna parameters. Three types of probes-fed patch antennas (rectangular, circular, and square) were designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using Arlondiclad 880 substrate. The antennas were tested with and without an Arlondiclad 880 superstrate of varying thicknesses. It was found that adding a superstrate slightly degraded performance by lowering the resonant frequency and increasing return loss and VSWR, while decreasing bandwidth and gain. Specifically, increasing the superstrate thickness or dielectric constant resulted in greater changes to the antenna parameters.
Energy efficient load balanced routing protocol for wireless sensor networks
Telecommunications is increasingly vital to the society at large, and has become essential to
business, academic, as well as social activities. Due to the necessity to have access to
telecommunications, the deployment requires regulations and policy. Otherwise, the deployment
of the infrastructures would contribute to environment, and human complexities rather than
ease of use.
However, the formulation of telecommunication infrastructure deployment regulation and
policy involve agents such as people and processes. The roles of the agents are critical, and are
not as easy as it meant to belief. This could be attributed to different factors, as they produce
and reproduce themselves overtime.
This paper presents the result of a study which focused on the roles of agents in the formulation
of telecommunication infrastructures deployment regulation and policy. In the study, the
interactions that take place amongst human and non-human agents were investigated. The study
employed the duality of structure, of Structuration theory as lens to understand the effectiveness
of interactions in the formulation of regulations, and how policy is used to facilitate the
deployment of telecommunications infrastructure in the South African environment.

We consider the large scale MIMO systems in which the number of users are gradually increased at that time the receiving antennas performance also decreased gradually. In contrast, almost no analytical results are available for macro diversity systems where both the sources and receive antennas are widely separated. Here, receive antennas experience unequal average SNRs from a source and receiver antenna receives a different average SNR from each source. Although this is an extremely difficult problem,In this paper, we provide approximate distributions for the output SNR of a ZF receiver and the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of an MMSE receiver. In addition, simple high SNR approximations are provided for the symbol error rate (SER) of both receivers assuming M-PSK or M-QAM modulations .For better performance of receivers we can also implement the MMSE and ZF analysis in Wimax networks.

ADAPTIVE SENSOR SENSING RANGE TO MAXIMISE LIFETIME OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK IJCNCJournal
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is commonly used to collect information from a remote area and one of the most important challenges associated with WSN is to monitor all targets in a given area while maximizing network lifetime. In wireless communication, energy consumption is proportional to the breadth of sensing range and path loss exponent. Hence, the energy consumption of communication can be minimized by varying the sensing range and decreasing the number of messages being sent. Sensing energy can be optimized by reducing the repeated coverage target. In this paper, an Adaptive Sensor Sensing Range (ASSR) technique is proposed to maximize the WSN Lifetime. This work considers a sensor network with an adaptive sensing range that are randomly deployed in the monitoring area. The sensor is adaptive in nature and can be modified in order to save power while achieving maximum time of monitoring to increase the lifetime of WSN network. The objective of ASSR is to find the best sensing range for each sensor to cover all targets in the network, which yields maximize the time of monitoring of all targets and eliminating double sensing for the same target. Experiments were conducted using an NS3 simulator to verify our proposed technique. Results show that ASSR is capable to improve the network lifetime by 20% as compared to other recent techniques in the case of a small network while achieving an 8% improvement for the case of a large networks.

Sector based multicast routing algorithm for mobile ad hoc networksijwmn
Multicast routing algorithms for mobile ad-hoc networks have been extensively researched in the recent
past. In this paper, we present two algorithms for dealing with multicast routing problem using the notion
of virtual forces. We look at the effective force exerted on a packet and determine whether a node could be
considered as a Steiner node. The nodes' location information is used to generate virtual circuits
corresponding to the multicast route. QoS parameters are taken into consideration in the form of virtual
dampening force. The first algorithm produces relatively minimal multicast trees under the set of
constraints. We improve upon the first algorithm and present a second algorithm that provides
improvement in average residual energy in the network as well as effective cost per data packet
transmitted. In this paper, the virtual-force technique has been applied for multicast routing for the first
time in mobile ad-hoc networks.
Energy efficient node deployment for target coverage in wireless sensor networkGaurang Rathod
Network lifetime plays an integral role in setting up an efficient wireless sensor network. Coverage in a network needs to guarantee that the region is monitored with the required degree of reliability. Locations of sensor nodes constitute the basic input for the algorithms that examine coverage of the network. Coverage problems can be broadly classified as area coverage problem and target coverage problem. Area coverage focuses on monitoring the entire region of interest, whereas target coverage concerns monitoring only certain specific points in a given region. Target coverage can be categorized as simple coverage, k-coverage and Q-coverage.
Lower coverage level (simple coverage) is enough for environmental or habitat monitoring or applications like home security. Higher degree of coverage (k-coverage) will be required for some applications like target tracking to track the targets accurately, or if sensors work in a hostile environment such as battle fields or chemically polluted areas. More reliable results are produced for higher degree of coverage which requires multiple sensor nodes to monitor the region/targets. An example of Q-coverage is video surveillance systems deployed for monitoring hostile territorial area where some sensitive targets like a nuclear plant may need more sensors cooperate to ensure source redundancy for precise data. Sensor nodes deterministically deployed by using artificial bee colony algorithm, so as to achieve the required target coverage level and maximize the network lifetime.
Investigating the Effect of Mutual Coupling on SVD Based Beam-forming over MI...CSCJournals
This paper investigates the effect of mutual coupling on the performance of SVD based beam-forming technique over a Rician MIMO channel. SVD based beam-forming technique were proposed as a baseband signal processing algorithm to combat NLOS issues. However, most of the researches done in regards to SVD based beam-forming technique are based on the assumption of “ideal array antennas” in which lots of practical issues including the transmitter and receiver array geometry, the number of antenna elements, the inter-element spacing and orientation are not considered. Particularly, the effect of mutual coupling due to finite element spacing is neglected. In real array antennas, Mutual Coupling (MC) is always present and its effects cannot be neglected, especially for tightly spaced arrays. Although the presence of mutual coupling leads to the “cross talk” problems for the SVD based beam-forming techniques. However, it does not adversely affect the system capacity. For some particular range of SNR, inter-element spacing, mutual coupling can in fact increase the capacity and in fact be beneficial in terms of decreasing SER
Energy efficient routing algorithm in wireless sensor networksAlexander Decker
This document presents a new routing algorithm called SMA (solar aware routing with mobile agent concept) for wireless sensor networks that aims to improve energy efficiency. The SMA algorithm has two phases: a set-up phase where the sink node calculates the shortest paths from sensor nodes to solar-powered auxiliary sink nodes; and a steady state phase where mobile agents circulate along the determined paths to gather data from sensor nodes and send it to the sink node via the solar nodes. The document evaluates SMA through simulations and finds it outperforms existing client-server and mobile agent approaches in terms of energy consumption, end-to-end delay, and overall cost.

Energy Efficient Clustering and Routing in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networkijwmn
A critical need in Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) is to achieve energy efficiency during routing
as the sensor nodes have scarce energy resource. The nodes’ mobility in MWSN poses a challenge to
design an energy efficient routing protocol. Clustering helps to achieve energy efficiency by reducing the
organization complexity overhead of the network which is proportional to the number of nodes in the
network. This paper proposes a novel hybrid multipath routing algorithm with an efficient clustering
technique. A node is selected as cluster head if it has high surplus energy, better transmission range and
least mobility. The Energy Aware (EA) selection mechanism and the Maximal Nodal Surplus Energy
estimation technique incorporated in this algorithm improves the energy performance during routing.
Simulation results can show that the proposed clustering and routing algorithm can scale well in dynamic
and energy deficient mobile sensor network.
IMPLEMENTING PACKET BROADCASTING ALGORITHM OF MIMO BASED MOBILE AD-HOC NETWOR...IJNSA Journal
With the rapid growth of wireless communication infras,,tructure over the recent few years, new challenges has been posed on the system and analysis on wireless adhoc networking. Implementation of MIMO communication in such type of network is enhancing the packet transmission capabilities. There are different techniques for cooperative transmission and broadcasting packet in MIMO equipped Mobile Adhoc Network. We have employed a model network in the OPNET environment and propose a new scheduling algorithm based on investigating the different broadcasting algorithm. The new broadcasting algorithm improves the packet transmission rate of the network based on energy performance of the network and minimizes the BER for different transmission mode which is illustrated in this paper. The simulations are done in MATLAB and OPNET environment and the simulated result for the packet transmission rate are collected and shown in the tabular form. Also simulate the network for generating a comparative statement for each mobile node. And performance analysis is also done for the model network. The main focus is to minimize BER and improve information efficiency of the network.
Performance Analysis of Enhanced Opportunistic Minimum Cost Routingin Mobile ...IJERA Editor
Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network with
infrastructure less environment to establish a data transmission between nodes within the network. A routing
protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. In this paper, we study the three existing routing protocols
namely AODV, DSDV and DSR to analyze theirperformance based on set of parameters.AODV and DSR
deliver almost all the packets compared to DSDV. Hence we try to modify the AODVprotocol and use in the
cooperative transmission.
In this paper, we study the cooperative transmission at the network layer and cooperative diversity at the
physical layer as a joint optimization of the transmission power in a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) with
static channel. However due to variable wireless channels static routing is suboptimal. Proposed protocol
proactively selects forwarding nodes that work cooperatively forwarding the packet towards the destination.
Cooperative transmission side diversity helps in reducing interference. Diversity can be achieved at the physical
layer by coordinating the multiple nodes. Nodes are equipped with Omni-directional antenna and take the
advantages of transmission side diversity to achieve energy saving, under the assumption that channel gains are
available at the transmitters.
The proposed Opportunistic Minimum Cost Cooperative Transmission Shortest Path (OMCTSP) algorithms
select the best optimum route with minimum cost in terms of energy, number of hops, available bandwidth, link
quality (SNR) and outage probability. As the network becomes larger, finding optimal routes becomes
computationally intractable as the complexity of the dynamic programming (DP) approach increases as o (2
2n)
where n is the number of nodes in the networks. Hence we develop two suboptimal algorithms have complexity
of o (n2) perform as same as optimal algorithm. Also developthe Opportunistic Cooperative Routing in MANET
(O_CORMAN), which is a network layer opportunistic routing scheme for mobile ad hoc networks. Nodes in
the network use the components proactive routing protocol, forwarder list update and local re-transmission. We
evaluate the performance using NS 2.32 simulator there is significant performance improvement with respect to
energy, throughput packet delivery, and delay compared with Modified AODV (OMCTSP).

Implementing packet broadcasting algorithm of mimo based mobile ad hoc networ...IJNSA Journal
With the rapid growth of wireless communication infras,,tructure over the recent few years, new
challenges has been posed on the system and analysis on wireless adhoc networking. Implementation of
MIMO communication in such type of network is enhancing the packet transmission capabilities. There
are different techniques for cooperative transmission and broadcasting packet in MIMO equipped
Mobile Adhoc Network. We have employed a model network in the OPNET environment and propose a
new scheduling algorithm based on investigating the different broadcasting algorithm. The new
broadcasting algorithm improves the packet transmission rate of the network based on energy
performance of the network and minimizes the BER for different transmission mode which is illustrated
in this paper. The simulations are done in MATLAB and OPNET environment and the simulated result
for the packet transmission rate are collected and shown in the tabular form. Also simulate the network
for generating a comparative statement for each mobile node. And performance analysis is also done for
the model network. The main focus is to minimize BER and improve information efficiency of the
network.
Enhancing Survivability, Lifetime, and Energy Efficiency of Wireless NetworksIJRES Journal
In this paper, we focus on improving wireless networks survivability in terms of increasing network lifetime and its energy efficiency via clustering the network in an efficient way. Clustering the network is the procedure of partitioning it into groups, where each of them is known as a cluster. Each cluster elects the station with the highest power to be a cluster head. The remaining stations follow the nearest cluster head. Instead of having each station sends its packets to a remote receiver, the cluster head receives packets from all stations within its cluster, aggregates them, and forwards the resulting packets to the remote receiver. The most significant benefit of clustering the network that we focus on is to decrease distances between sending and receiving stations, which in turn reduces the transmission energy. This reduction in the energy yields an increase in the network lifetime and its survivability.
Energy saving in cooperative transmission using opportunistic protocol in MANETIOSR Journals
Abstract : In this thesis, we study the joint problems of cooperative link and diversity in A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) with variable wireless channels. In MANET the wireless nodes are in group and infrastructure less in nature. The major problems faced by wireless communication in real time environment are that of interference and un-reliable communication links. Much research work has been done to overcome this by using various techniques. Cooperative communication and transmission side diversity in the network are the two of the techniques that help in reducing interference and communication link failures. We have also proposed a new technique to find the optimum route as a joint problem of the transmission power at the physical layer and the link selection at the network layer that incurs the minimum cost in terms of energy, no. of hops, available bandwidth and link quality (SNR), outage probability. Analytical results show that our cooperative transmission schemes (OMCTSP) achieves average energy saving of more than 80% than direct transmission. Keywords: cooperative transmission, , channel gain, diversity, , linkcost minimum energy routing, outage diversity, Variable wireless channels.
In this paper we are interested to calculate the resonant frequency of rectangular patch antenna using artificial neural networks based on the multilayered perceptrons. The artificial neural networks built, transforms the inputs which are, the width of the patch W, the length of the patch L, the thickness of the substrate h and the dielectric permittivity ε_r to the resonant frequency fr which is an important parameter to design a microstrip patch antenna.The proposed method based on artificial neural networks is compared to some analytical methods using some statistical criteria. The obtained results demonstrate that artificial neural networks are more adequate to achieve the purpose than the other methods and present a good argument with the experimental results available in the literature. Hence, the artificial neural networks can be used by researchers to predict the resonant frequency of a rectangular patch antenna knowing length (L), width (W), thickness (h) and dielectric permittivity 〖(ε〗_r) with a good accuracy.
Energy Conservation in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Cluster-Based ApproachIJRES Journal
In a wireless networking environment, the network is comprised of sensor nodes and backbones are subsets of sensors or actuators that suffice for performing basic data communication operations. They are applied for energy efficient broadcasting. In a broadcasting (also known as data dissemination) task, a message is to be sent from one node, which could be a sink or an actuator, to all the sensors or all the actuators in the network. The goal is to minimize the number of rebroadcasts while attempting to deliver messages to all sensors or actuators. Neighbor detection and route discovery algorithms that consider a realistic physical layer are described. An adaptive broadcasting protocol without parameters suitable for delay tolerant networks is further discussed. In existing solutions for minimal energy broadcasting problem, nodes can adjust their transmission powers. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are sets of many sensors that gather data and collaborate together. So, the procedures of broadcast or multicast are more important than traditional point-to-point communication in computer network. This paper focuses on broadcasting in structured WSNs. In such a kind, the procedure of network communications is easier than in unstructured WSNs. Thus, it will make an overview of Multi Point Relay (MPR) to show its weakness. Then define a cluster-based architecture for WSNs which is constructed using MPR. Next, provide a new broadcast algorithm based on the previous cluster architecture called 3B (Backbone Based Broadcasting). By the end, an illustration of 3B shows that it minimizes the energy consumption for accomplishing broadcast compared to MPR.

This document summarizes a research article about developing a secure and energy-efficient routing protocol for Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) used in rescue operations. The protocol aims to address issues like lack of congestion control, reliability, and high energy consumption in FANETs. It proposes forming clusters of flying nodes based on distance and energy levels. It then calculates remaining energy of nodes to save resources. Finally, it establishes communication between clusters and a ground operation center using node velocity and location data. The goal is to enable secure and energy-efficient communication for coordinating rescue efforts using a rapidly deployable FANET.
Ameliorate Threshold Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm for He...chokrio
Ameliorating the lifetime in heterogeneous wireless sensor network is an important task because the sensor nodes are limited in the resource energy. The best way to improve a WSN lifetime is the clustering based algorithms in which each cluster is managed by a leader called Cluster Head. Each other node must communicate with this CH to send the data sensing. The nearest base station nodes must also send their data to their leaders, this causes a loss of energy. In this paper, we propose a new approach to ameliorate a threshold distributed energy efficient clustering protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks by excluding closest nodes to the base station in the clustering process. We show by simulation in MATLAB that the proposed approach increases obviously the number of the received packet messages and prolongs the lifetime of the network compared to TDEEC protocol.

Performance Analysis of Distributed Spatial Multiplexing with Multi-hop Ampli...IJCSEA Journal
This paper describes a frame work investigating the performance of distributed spatial multiplexing (DSM) in cooperative multi-hop cellular networks. The cooperative communication in cellular networks gives us leverage to get the inherent advantages of its random relay locations and the direction of the data flow. However, traditional centralized relay selection needs considerable overhead and signaling. In our proposed work, threshold based relay selection is adopted based on the received signal strength (RSS) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The best relay chosen will transmit jointly with source using Amplify and forward (AF) protocol. The evaluation is performed with bit error rate (BER) and energy per bit for distributed spatial multiplexing scheme with multi-hop networking.

Coverage and Connectivity Aware Neural Network Based Energy Efficient Routing...graphhoc
There are many challenges when designing and deploying wireless sensor networks (WSNs). One of the key challenges is how to make full use of the limited energy to prolong the lifetime of the network, because energy is a valuable resource in WSNs. The status of energy consumption should be continuously monitored after network deployment. In this paper, we propose coverage and connectivity aware neural network based energy efficient routing in WSN with the objective of maximizing the network lifetime. In the proposed scheme, the problem is formulated as linear programming (LP) with coverage and connectivity aware constraints. Cluster head selection is proposed using adaptive learning in neural networks followed by coverage and connectivity aware routing with data transmission. The proposed scheme is compared with existing schemes with respect to the parameters such as number of alive nodes, packet delivery fraction, and node residual energy. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can be used in wide area of applications in WSNs.
Clustering provides an effective method for
extending the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. Current
clustering methods selecting cluster heads with more residual
energy, and rotating cluster heads periodically to distribute the
energy consumption among nodes in each cluster. However,
they rarely consider the hot spot problem in multi hop sensor
networks. When cluster heads forward their data to the base
station, the cluster heads closer to the base station are heavily
burdened with traffic and tend to die much faster. To mitigate
the hot spot problem, we propose a Novel Energy Efficient
Unequal Clustering Routing (NEEUC) protocol. It uses residual
energy and groupsthe nodesinto clusters of unequal layers
An enhanced energy-efficient routing protocol for wireless sensor networkIJECEIAES
The document summarizes an enhanced energy-efficient routing protocol proposed for wireless sensor networks. The proposed protocol selects cluster heads based on current energy levels to avoid nodes with low energy from being selected. It also chooses a root cluster head with high residual energy and short distance to the sink to aggregate and transmit all cluster data. Simulations show the proposed protocol performs better than LEACH in increasing network lifetime by balancing energy consumption and extending stability periods.
DATA GATHERING ALGORITHMS FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS: A SURVEYijasuc
Recent developments in processor, memory and radio technology have enabled wireless sensor networks
which are deployed to collect useful information from an area of interest. The sensed data must be
gathered and transmitted to a base station where it is further processed for end-user queries. Since the
network consists of low-cost nodes with limited battery power, power efficient methods must be employed
for data gathering and aggregation in order to achieve long network lifetimes. In an environment where in
a round of communication each of the sensor nodes has data to send to a base station, it is important to
minimize the total energy consumed by the system in a round so that the system lifetime is maximized. With
the use of data fusion and aggregation techniques, while minimizing the total energy per round, if power
consumption per node can be balanced as well, a near optimal data gathering and routing scheme can be
achieved in terms of network lifetime. Several application specific sensor network data gathering protocols
have been proposed in research literatures. However, most of the proposed algorithms have been some
attention to the related network lifetime and saving energy are two critical issues for wireless sensor
networks. In this paper we have explored general network lifetime in wireless sensor networks and made an
extensive study to categorize available data gathering techniques and analyze possible network lifetime on
them.

ABSTRACT
This paper addresses the maximizing network lifetime problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) taking
into account the total Symbol Error rate (SER) at destination. Therefore, efficient power management is
needed for extend network lifetime. Our approach consists to provide the optimal transmission power
using the orthogonal multiple access channels between each sensor. In order to deeply study the
properties of our approach, firstly, the simple case is considered; the information sensed by the source
node passes by a single relay before reaching the destination node. Secondly, global case is studied; the
information passes by several relays. We consider, in the previous both cases, that the batteries are non-
rechargeable. Thirdly, we spread our work the case where the batteries are rechargeable with unlimited
storage capacity. In all three cases, we suppose that Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) is used as a
detector, and Amplify and Forward (AF) as a relaying strategy. Simulation results show the viability of
our approach which the network lifetime is extended of more than 70.72%when the batteries are non
rechargeable and 100.51% when the batteries are rechargeable in comparison with other traditional
method.

1. INTRODUCTION
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an important technology that has been employed in
various applications. This network type is composed of a large number of sensor nodes
distributed on a geographic zone, which can be dropped from an aircraft or helicopter, for
tracking physical phenomena (temperature, sound, vibration…..). Each node equipped with an
embedded processor, sensors and a radio. Maximizing network lifetime is the most important
objective for evolving sensor networks. Network lifetime can be defined according to the used
application. In [1] Network lifetime was defined as the time until the first sensor runs out of
energy, however in [2] was defined as the time until the last sensor runs out of energy.
In this paper, our goal is to find the optimal transmission power in order to maximize the
network lifetime considering different schemes and taking to account the total SER constraint at
destination. We assume that source node transmit their obtained sensing data to relaying nodes
before reaching the destination virtually creating MIMO system [3]. Concerning the

mediaaccess, we assume orthogonal channel between each sensor [4]. The channel based on
standard strategy of Time Division multiple accesses (TDMA) [5]. The temporal space is
divided between all the transmitters.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. The section II looks at the related work
and background of the approaches and algorithms used. In the section III, we study the
maximizing network lifetime problem considering different schemes where the batteries are
non-rechargeable. Then, we assume the same assumptions quoted before with the exception that
the transmitters are able to harvest energy from nature (rechargeablebatteries). The section VI
summarizes our simulation results and the last section concludes the paper.
2. RELATED WORK
In wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the most important objective is to make the nodes
operational as long as possible. In the literature, there are numerous works that address the
network lifetime problem.
Cooperative communication [6][7] is new class method which mitigates the degradation
effects of fading channels by exploiting the diversity gain achieved via the relay nodes.
Cooperative diversity is realized by different relaying strategies. We mention the most popular
strategy namely amplify-and-forward, demodulate-and-forward, Decode-and-Forward and
Compress-and-Forward strategy. In the Amplify-and-Forward strategy (AF) [8], the relay
simply amplifies the source transmission and retransmits it. The Demodulate-and-Forward
strategy [9] permits to the relay to demodulate individual symbols and to retransmit them. In the
Decode-and-Forward (DF) strategy [10], the relay decodes the entire message, re-encodes it and
re-transmits it to the destination. In [11], the Compress-and-Forward (CF) strategy allows to the
relay to send a quantized version of its received signal. The most popular cooperation strategies
are amplified-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) [12]. Theoretical studies such as
[12] show clearly that the choice of the best strategy is based on Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of
the different channels, and specify that the AF strategy does not to lose information since there
is no decision at the relay. From a complexity standpoint, the AF strategy appears to be the
simpler of strategies which it used in our work.
Various energy efficient protocols have been proposed to prolong network lifetime. Heinzelman
et al. proposed a Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy protocol (LEACH) in [13] which
the selection strategy of heads nodes is made randomly. Then, in [14], the authors improve the
LEACH protocol [15] and propose an optimized algorithm for the clustering in order to prolong
network lifetime.
In [16][17] optimal solutions are presented for maximizing a static network lifetime through a
graph theoretic approach using a static (multicast/broadcast) tree. In [18][25], the total energy
consumption is minimized using an optimal water-filling solution.
On the other hand, there has been recent research effort on wireless communication using
energy harvesting transmitters [19]-[21]. In [19], energy harvesting transmitters with batteries of
finite energy storage capacity are considered and the problem of throughput maximization by a
deadline is solved in a static channel. Sharma et al. in [20] propose energy management
schemes for a single energy harvesting node. The aim is to maximize the throughput and
minimize the delay. In [21], the dynamic programming framework is used to calculate the
optimal online policy with different energy budgets.
3. OPTIMALPOWER ALLOCATION SCHEMES
3.1 General System Model
We give a background and precisely define the terms used throughout this paper. We know
that the received power at a node varies according to the distance between U-node and V-node
noted d , where αis the path loss (attenuation) factor. The path loss can be formulated
as = 10 ( ) + . We assume a source-node, destination-node and M sensors

(relays) randomly distributed in the area of interest. We suppose that each sensor has an initial
energy noted and each one is equipped by only one antenna and has an "Amplify and
Forward" as relaying strategy.
We consider the problem of optimal power allocation for WSNs when using the Orthogonal
Channel Configuration between each sensor. We Note that is the channel coefficient from
the u-node to the v-node assuming that has a Rayleigh distribution and represents the well
known variance where = . In addition, is the additive Gaussian noise between U and
V node with ~ Ɲ (0, ).
In this article, our goal is to maximize the network lifetime expressed by the following equation:
= ∗
Where T is the period measurement of channel condition (T=1 to simplify), N is the number of
transmissions until the network can continuously meet the application requirements. This is
valid for many types of modulation including, quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK), M-pulse
amplitude modulation (M-PAM), and rectangular M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-
QAM) [22].
3.2 Virtual MIMO with a Single Relay
Firstly, we assume that the source node transmit their obtained sensing data to relaying
station before reaching the destination creating several boughs (Fig. 1). We note that exist two
communication systems: SIMOsystem created between the source-node and the M relay-nodes
and MISO system created between the M relay-nodes and the destination-node which makes a
virtual MIMO with a single relay in each bough.
Figure 1: System Model
We consider that the nodes transmit their data over quasi-static rayleigh fading channel. Our
aim is to find the optimal power transmission taking into account the required SER at the FC.
The average SER at high SNR is formulated as [22][23]:

Where
( , ) =

2( + 1)!
is a parameter relating to the modulation type used (see Table 1), ̅ is an average SNR of the
u-node to the v-node, where ̅ = ⁄ and is the average transmission power.
4. International Journal of Ad hoc, Sensor & Ubiquitous Computing (IJASUC) Vol.4, No.2, April 2013

In order to simplify our calculation, we start by writing the average SER at the high SNR in
terms of transmission power:
=
( , ) 1
+

(2)
Where (resp. ) is the power of transmission at the source (resp.at the rth
relay).
Based on experimental measurements by Raghunathan et al. [24], the data is very expensive in
terms of energy consumption. Then the energy consumed in processing and reception is
negligible. Consequently, our goal is minimize the transmission power for the M relay. We take
into account the SER estimation being less than or equal to a known target value δ.
Then, our problem formulation is:

We use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the local maxima of our function, subject to
the constraints quoted before. The Lagrange function defined by:

solving the KKT conditions: If we consider thatν = 0, using the KKT condition, we obtain
that = 1, which implies that = 0∀ . This result is not acceptable, then, > 0. If we consider
that ≠ 0, we obtain that = 0∀ wich is unacceptable, thus = 0. Solving for > 0 and

3.3 Single bough with Multi relay (simple case)
Before looking for the case where the information passes through the N relays-nodes, in each
bough, to reach the destination-node, we take the simple case where it has a one bough. The
source-node transmits their obtained sensing data to N relays-nodes before reaching the
destination which virtually creating MIMO system.
Our aim is to provide the optimal transmission power taking into account the SER constraint
at FC while guaranteeing the required performance. Assuming the same assumptions quoted
before, the average SER at high SNR is formulated as:

3.4 Virtual MIMO with a Multi relay (Generalized case)
In this section, we extend the case where multiple relays are used in each bough
(Figure 3). We note that three communication systems exists; SIMOsystem created
between the source-node and first M relay-nodes, SISO system created between the
relay-nodes(r denotes the rth
bough) and MISO system created between the last M relay-
nodes and the destination-node.

3.5 Energy harvesting in Virtual MIMO with a Single relay
Our goal is to maximize the network lifetime. In this section, we consider the same
case in the first part (single relay in each bough), with the exception that the transmitters
are able to harvest energy from nature. Figure 4 shows that the transmitter has an energy
queue (battery) where the arriving (harvested) energy is stored.In addition, we consider
that the energy harvesting times and energy harvesting amount are known before the
transmission starts.
Noted that

4. SIMULATIONS AND RESULTS
We study the average network lifetime. We compare our novel method to EP
method when varying same parameters, in order to show the relevance and the
robustness of our proposal. The simulations parameters are generated randomly such
that each parameter belongs to an uniform distribution between and , ∈ [ ; ].

4.1 Virtual MIMO with a Single Relay
In order to show the viability and the performance of the novel algorithms, we compare
it to the equal power method (EP) [25]. We fixed the transmission power corresponding
to the source node for10dB and we vary the modulation of the transmit information.
The modulations used are M-Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK) and M-Quadrature
Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM), then, the k parameter can be formulated differently
in each modulation case (table 1). We suppose that the direct link between the source
and the destination node is assumed normalized by 1. We considerer four significant
figures where all of the digits present are non-zero.

Figure 5 depicts the lifetime network while increasing the number of boughs. The
curves show that the network lifetime is clearly extended when the number of bough
exceeds 5. While between 1 and 5 bough, the improvement is less important in terms of
network lifetime. In general, the proposed approach improves the EP method
concerning the average network lifetime which is extended by an average of 78.01%
respectively 70.85%) using 16QAM (respectively 8PSK). Table 2 shows the parameters
used for simulations.
In the second, we fixed the used modulation (16QAM) and we vary the transmission
power corresponding to the source.

Figure 6 shows the average network lifetime increasing the number of bough where
varying the transmission power corresponding to the source . As it can be seen, the
network lifetime, in the both methods, increases as the value of . However, the curves
show that our approach provides a meaningful improvement relative to the EP Method
which the lifetime network is extended by an average of 92.23%, 70.72% and 64.31%
respectively for P = 16db, 10db and 7db. Therefore, the simulation results prove that the
transmission power and the modulation used play a significant factor in extending the
network lifetime. Obviously, with high we can reach farther relay of the source.

4.3 Energy harvesting in Virtual MIMO with a Single relay
To evaluate the performance of our new algorithm, we compare our Optimal Power
Allocation algorithm where the batteries are Rechargeable (OPAR) with two other
methods, namely the Equal Power (EP) method and Optimal Power Allocation where
the batteries are Non-Rechargeable (OPANR). We assume an unlimited battery
capacity, and generate the Quantity of energy arrivals with a Gaussian distribution [50,
100].The 16-QAM modulation is used. Table 4 shows the parameters used for
simulations.

Figure 8 shows the network lifetime increasing the number of relays. As it can be
seen, our proposed OPAR algorithm improves the EP and OPANR method concerning
the average network lifetime. For the range [1,9], the improvement is less important in
terms of network lifetime. As expected, for more than 9 boughs, the total average
lifetime is substantially increased to about 100.51% and 247.78% using OPAR method
compared to respectively EP and OPANR method. Table 4 shows the parameters used
for simulations.
5. Conclusion
This paper presents a new algorithm which aims to maximize the network lifetime
under Orthogonal Channel configuration using several cases. We take into account the
estimation of overall Symbol Error Rate(SER) constraint at the FC and we suppose, in
addition, that a MaximumRatio Combining(MRC) is used at the receiver as a detector
and amplify-and-forward as relaying strategy. We have showed that the proposed
optimal power allocation methods maximize the average network lifetime better than
the EP method in all the studied cases. The network lifetime is extended by an average
that can reach 100.51% when the batteries are rechargeable.
