Adjacency Matrix Based Energy Efficient Scheduling using S-MAC Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks
Communication is the main motive in any Networks whether it is Wireless
Sensor Network, Ad-Hoc networks, Mobile Networks, Wired Networks, Local Area
Network, Metropolitan Area Network, Wireless Area Network etc, hence it must be
energy efficient. The main parameters for energy efficient communication are
maximizing network lifetime, saving energy at the different nodes, sending the
packets in minimum time delay, higher throughput etc. This paper focuses mainly
on the energy efficient communication with the help of Adjacency Matrix in the
Wireless Sensor Networks. The energy efficient scheduling can be done by
putting the idle node in to sleep node so energy at the idle node can be saved.
The proposed model in this paper first forms the adjacency matrix and
broadcasts the information about the total number of existing nodes with depths
to the other nodes in the same cluster from controller node. When every node
receives the node information about the other nodes for same cluster they
communicate based on the shortest depths and schedules the idle node in to
sleep mode for a specific time threshold so energy at the idle nodes can be
saved.Comment: 20 pages, 2 figures, 14 tables, 5 equations, International Journal of

Performance evaluation of WMN-GA for different mutation and crossover rates considering number of covered users parameter
Node placement problems have been long investigated in the optimization field due to numerous applications in location science and classification. Facility location problems are showing their usefulness to communication networks, and more especially from Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) field. Recently, such problems are showing their usefulness to communication networks, where facilities could be servers or routers offering connectivity services to clients. In this paper, we deal with the effect of mutation and crossover operators in GA for node placement problem. We evaluate the performance of the proposed system using different selection operators and different distributions of router nodes considering number of covered users parameter. The simulation results show that for Linear and Exponential ranking methods, the system has a good performance for all rates of crossover and mutation.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
