Cellular Automata-Based WSN Energy Saving Technology

Abstract:

Wireless sensor network is a new type of wireless network. IEEE 802.15.4 / Zigbee standards with low energy consumption, low speed characteristics has been widely used in wireless sensor network. As the wireless sensor nodes are often set in complex geographical environment and had not continuous power supply, thus saving energy has been one of the main directions of research at home and abroad. Cellular automata are a mimic biological cell reproduction form of dynamical system, with a simple rule to reveal the complex global characteristics. This paper presents a kind of cellular automata and Zigbee based wireless sensor network binding mechanism, so that the wireless node according to the communication state during hibernation and job switching between states in order to achieve the purpose of energy saving. Simulations show that the mechanism can reduce the network energy consumption, improve energy utilization rate, and prolong the survival time of the node.
