Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks: Transmission Protocols and Performance Evaluation

Nowadays green communication is a popular topic targeting at reducing energy consumption in various wired and wireless technologies including wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and Internet of things (IoT).

WSNs support many applications such as environment monitoring, target tracking and anomaly detection. Furthermore, bearing the advantages of small size, low cost and battery powered operations, WSNs are going to play a vital role in building a connected and smart society based on the IoT.

Generally in WSNs, wireless nodes sense data from a sensing field and transmit it to a data collection center where the data is analyzed in order to take an action. Obviously, energy consumption in transmitting and receiving data is inevitable.

Furthermore, in order to guarantee a successful transmission and reception, some extra operations are required to perform data transmissions. This overhead also consumes energy which should be minimized for achieving higher energy efficiency and longer network operational lifetime. This extra overhead appears at all layers of communication.

Thesis focuses at MAC-layer

However, this thesis research work focuses primarily on the energy efficiency at the medium access control (MAC) layer.

The dissertation proposes energy efficient MAC protocols with minimum idle listening by sensor nodes in a WSN.

Two protocols for achieving equal or almost equal energy consumption rates at all nodes in the WSN are proposed, one as an asynchronous communication protocol and the other one as a synchronous communication protocol.

Furthermore, an event-triggered sleeping mechanism based on incoming traffic for nodes in WSN is proposed. According to this sleeping mechanism, only the nodes which have packets to send participate in communication while the other nodes are sleeping.

Moreover, aggregated packet transmission is adopted in synchronous MAC protocols for achieving higher energy efficiency. For performance assessment, mathematical models with high accuracy are developed to analyze the performance of the proposed protocols and mechanisms.
