Mobile Agent Driven Time Synchronized Energy Efficient WSN
Sharanu, Padmapriya Patil
Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used for applications like continuous monitoring purposes. In such a network routing is one of the major challenging issues for communication between the communicating hosts. Communication takes place between a pair of nodes in a conventional wireless sensor networks. The main objective in sensor network is to acquire the data from every node and transmit it to the sink node. In this sparse network since the number of nodes are large in number; hence number of packets are extreme. To minimize such huge volume of packets we need a time synchronizing effort between the nodes which further depends upon prior information like energy which is calculated through Mobile agents. For every aspect of planning; managing; securing a network involves determining when actually an event occurs. Hence Time synchronization is important in sensor network. Energy consumption must be reduced during the Time Synchronization of the WSN to improve the lifetime of the network using a powerful single mobile agent. The electricity of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks is very limited; so it is an important research topic to deploy the sensor nodes and cooperate with an efficient routing algorithm for extending the network lifetime.
