Item Open Access Average distance estimation in randomly deployed wireless sensor networks (WSNs): an analytical study(Inderscience Enterprises, 2019) Sevgi, CüneytA wireless sensor network (WSN) is an energy-scarce network in which the energy is primarily dissipated by the nodes during data transmission to the base station (BS). The location of the BS dramatically affects the energy dissipation, the throughput, and the lifetime. While in certain studies the optimal positioning of a BS is considered, the system parameters are optimized when the BS location is known in advance in many others. Herein, we provide a general-purpose mathematical framework to find the expected distance value between every point within any n-sided simple polygon shaped sensing field and an arbitrarily located BS. Knowing this value is imperative particularly in random deployment as it is used for energy-efficient clustering. Although similar derivations appear in the related literature, to the best of our knowledge, this study departs from them, since our derivations do not depend on the shape of the field and the orientation of BS relative to it.Item Open Access An energy efficient scatternet formation algorithm for Bluetooth-based sensor networks(IEEE, 2005-02) Saginbekov, Sain; Körpeoğlu, İbrahimIn this paper, we propose an energy-efficient scatternet formation algorithm for Bluetooth based sensor networks. The algorithm is based on first computing a shortest path tree from the base station to all sensor nodes and then solving the degree constraint problem so that the degree of each node in the network is not greater than seven, which is a Bluetooth constaint. In this way, less amount of energy is spent in each round of communication in the sensor network. The algorithm also tries to balance the load evenly on the high-energy consuming nodes which are the nodes that are close to the base station. In this way, the lifetime of the first dying node is also prolonged. We obtained promising results in the simulations. © 2005 IEEE.
