ASCENT: Adaptive Self-Configuring sEnsor Network Topologies

Advances in microsensor and radio technology enable small but smart sensors to be deployed for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications. The low-per node cost allows these wireless networks of sensors and actuators to be densely ...

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a group of energy-constrained sensor nodes with the ability of both sensing and communication, which can be deployed in a field of interesting (FoI) for detecting or monitoring some special events and then ...

When cluster heads transmit their data to the sink via multi-hop mode, the cluster heads closer to the sink are burdened with heavy relay traffic and tend to die early. In this paper, taking both sink mobility and node deployment into account, we ...
