Energy Efficient Ant Colony Algorithms for Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, a family of ant colony algorithms called DAACA for data
aggregation has been presented which contains three phases: the initialization,
packet transmission and operations on pheromones. After initialization, each
node estimates the remaining energy and the amount of pheromones to compute the
probabilities used for dynamically selecting the next hop. After certain rounds
of transmissions, the pheromones adjustment is performed periodically, which
combines the advantages of both global and local pheromones adjustment for
evaporating or depositing pheromones. Four different pheromones adjustment
strategies are designed to achieve the global optimal network lifetime, namely
Basic-DAACA, ES-DAACA, MM-DAACA and ACS-DAACA. Compared with some other data
aggregation algorithms, DAACA shows higher superiority on average degree of
nodes, energy efficiency, prolonging the network lifetime, computation
complexity and success ratio of one hop transmission. At last we analyze the
characteristic of DAACA in the aspects of robustness, fault tolerance and
scalability.Comment: To appear in Journal of Computer and System Science
Implementation of Load Balanced Data Gathering of Nodes in Wireless Sensor Network
Data Gathering is a basic task in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Data gathering trees capable of performing aggregation operations are also referred to as Data Aggregation Trees (DATs). Recent work focus on constructing DATs according to different user requirements under the Deterministic Network Model (DNM). However, due to the existence of many probabilistic empty links in WSNs, it is more practical to obtain a DAT under the realistic Probabilistic Network Model (PNM). Moreover, the load-balance factor is neglected when constructing DATs in current literatures. Therefore, it is focused on constructing a Load-Balanced Data Aggregation Tree (LBDAT) under the PNM.In this paper, we did simulation of the same as above stated WSN in NS2 network simulator.

Data Gathering with Tour Length-Constrained
In this paper, given a single mobile element and a time deadline, we investigate the problem of designing the mobile element tour to visit subset of nodes, such that the length of this tour is bounded by the time deadline and the communication cost between nodes outside and inside the tour is minimized. The nodes that the mobile element tour visits, works as cache points that store the data of the other nodes. Several algorithms in the literature have tackled this problem by separating two phases; the construction of the mobile element tour from the computation of the forwarding trees to the cache points. In this paper, we propose algorithmic solutions that alternate between these phases and iteratively improves the outcome of each phase based on the result of the other. We compare the resulting performance of our solutions with that of previous work
