Quality-aware energy saving in wireless sensor networks

Description of research

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are composed of many low-power nodes that are distributed in an environment for monitoring and control purposes. Example applications of WSNs include habitat monitoring, structure monitoring, health monitoring and feedback, as well as industrial safety, to name but a few. Restricted resources are one of the most important challenges in these networks. To this end, many efforts have been directed towards optimization of resource and energy management. In other side, proposed methods must be able to satisfy Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the applications. This research aims at developing QoS based energy efficient resource management mechanisms for wireless sensor network. The focus is on cooperative based algorithms to find solution for energy management and QoS concerns. To achieve this, game theory and multi agent system concepts, among others, will be used.
