Optimal Range Adjustment based on Traffic for Wireless Sensor Networks

무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 트래픽을 기반으로 최적의 범위를 조절하기

Wireless Sensor Networks "WSN" can be implemented in a wide range of applications. Some of these have unpredictable behavior, such as disaster or intrusion monitoring. Sudden large bursting amounts of data can increase traffic and degrade the WSN's performance as well as energy resources. In this work we propose an adjustment of radio transmission range where more or less nodes can be part of the neighborhood area and collaborate in retransmission. As simulation results prove, such adjustment based on traffic can benefit to balance network lifetime.
