Perpetual Topology Control in Energy Harvesting Sensor Network

Abstract:

Harvesting ambient energy to power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a promising approach. However, due to low recharging rates and the dynamics of renewable energy, energy harvesting sensors are unable to provide sufficient energy for sustained operation. This work designs a novel perpetual topology control that can enhance the energy efficiency and prolong network lifetime in energy harvesting sensor network. The proposed perpetual topology control (PTC) algorithm aims to ensure WSN sustainability and make the harvesting ambient energy usefully. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the PDTC algorithm in energy efficient.
