Summary:
This thesis describes energy-conserving techniques in wireless sensor networks. In wireless sensor networks the sensor nodes gather information and send the information to a base station periodically. Some important messages need be broadcast to all nodes. Due to the limited battery capacity in sensor nodes, energy efficiency is becoming a major challenging problem in these power-constrained networks. Chain-based protocols construct a transmission chain connecting all nodes to save energy dissipation of data transmission. We propose a multiple-chain scheme for all-to-all broadcasting. Furthermore, we develop an energy-efficient chain-construction algorithm which uses a sequence of insertions to minimize the energy consumption along the chain. We propose an energy-based adaptive clustering protocol, in which cluster-head elections depend on not only a probabilistic model but also the remaining energy in each node. This protocol improves the life time of the network by distributing energy usage effectively among the sensor nodes.
