A practical framework for data collection in wireless sensor networks
Hanoun, Samer and Nahavandi, Saeid 2008, A practical framework for data collection in wireless sensor networks, in SOSE 2008 : IEEE International Conference on System of Systems Engineering, IEEE, Piscataway, N.J., pp. 1-6.
Optimizing energy consumption for extending the lifetime in wireless sensor networks is of dominant importance. Groups of autonomous robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) acting as mobile data collectors are utilized to minimize the energy expenditure of the sensor nodes by approaching the sensors and collecting their buffers via single hop communication, rather than using multihop routing to forward the buffers to the base station. This paper models the sensor network and the mobile collectors as a system-of-systems, and defines all levels and types of interactions. A practical framework that facilitates deploying heterogeneous mobiles without prior knowledge about the sensor network is presented. Realizing the framework is done through simulation experiments and tested against several performance metrics.
