Abstract

In this work we propose an energy-efficient transmission strategy for wireless sensor networks that operate in a strict energy-constrained environment. Our transmission algorithm consists of two components: a binary-decision based transmission and a channel-aware backoff adjustment. In the binary-decision based transmission, we obtain the optimum threshold for successful transmission via Markov decision process (MDP) formulation. A channel-aware backoff adjustment, the second component of our proposal, is introduced to favor sensor nodes seeing better channel in terms of transmission priority. Extensive simulations are performed to verify the performance of our proposal over fading wireless channels.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 에너지 효율적인 전송방안을 제안하고 이에 대한 이론적 분석을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 전송기법은 채널 상태가 상대적으로 좋을 때만 전송을 시도하는 opportunistic transmission에 기반한 이진 결정 (binary-decision) 기반 전송이다. 이진 결정 기반 전송에서는 Markov decision process (MDP)를 이용하여 성공적인 전송을 위한 최적의 채널 임계값을 도출하였다. 다양한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 전송기법의 성능을 에너지 효율성과 전송율 측면에서 분석하였다.
