| This project investigates energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSN). WSN is a wireless network which can monitor an environment in hard to reach or dangerous areas. For instance, WSN can be used for military and civilian needs, pollutant and/or habitat monitoring for environmental concerns, traffic and location monitoring for civilian planning, development of warehouse and toxic leak monitoring for automated industrial monitoring and patient monitoring in the medical field. WSN consists of many sensors with very limited battery power as well as limited processing, memorizing, and transmitting power. We will propose energy efficient and energy balanced protocol encompassing WSN routing, topology control, and data aggregation. |
