Class name: CSCI5931-04 Wireless and Sensor NetworksName: Sarjana SinghE-mail: [email protected] of Investigation: Energy Efficient communication in Wireless and SensorNetworksAbstractThe energy in any sensor network is very important and critical resource and has to beconsumed very efficiently. Nodes in the network can die within two weeks if they use fullpower. Furthermore, power consumption by the wireless radio in a sensor node is anorder of magnitude higher than the power consumption of computation on the node.There are various communications taking place in such a network i.e. many to one, one tomany, and one-to-one.In this paper, protocols like direct diffusion protocol, forwarding strategies like the Directdiffusion protocol and the techniques (1) a compression technique that produces anapproximate representation of the actual data at the sources within bounded qualityguarantees, and (2) a delta encoding technique that sends only the difference between theprevious value and the current value of the data will be discussed to make thecommunication between the nodes and the base-station effective and efficient.Why is the topic worth investigating? How is it related to Sensor Networks?The topic is worth investigating because it is related to the Sensor networks. Energy is avery important resource in sensor network and every unit spent is a step closer to death.Therefore, its effective usage is very-very important to the entire sensor network. If thereare nodes without any energy, the sensor network itself doesn’t make any sense and itsconsumption is extremely critical.References:1) Power Conservation Schemes for Energy Efficient Data Propagationin heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks by IoannisChatzigiannakis, Athanasios Kinalis and Sotiris Nikoletseas 2) Energy Efficient Communication for Reliability and Quality Aware Sensor Networks by Cristiano Pereira, Sumit Gupta, Koushik Niyogi, Iosif Lazaridis, Sharad Mehrotra, Rajesh Gupta3) A Comparison of Lifetime-Efficient Forwarding Strategies for Wireless Sensor Networks by Marcel Busse, Thomas Haenselmann, and Wolfgang EffelsbergAgenda1) Introduction2) Protocols for effective communication3) Techniques for effective communication4) Methods to improve the communication5) Effectiveness of the above protocols, techniques and methods6)
