Description
Summary:Environmental surveillance applications usually require a long living cycle of sensor nodes, especially when they are powered by non-charged batteries. Inspired by cellular automata, we propose a non-cluster based topology control method to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. Differing from the traditional cluster-based methods, our approaches lead a special way to maintain longer system lifetime by sacrificing a small proportion of network coverage and connectivity degrees. The demonstration contains both theoretical simulation and system-level experiment, which will be instructive for future study.
