Topology management protocols play an important role in WSNs, managing the sleep transitions of the nodes to make data transmissions occur in an energy-efficient way, thus prolonging network lifetime. However, classical topology management protocols are not suitable for real-time WSNs, as they may introduce unbounded delays. In a previous work, we presented a static topology management protocol specifically designed for real-time WSNs which is able to provide bounded delay and routing fidelity. This paper extends such work, presenting a dynamic topology management protocol that surpasses the static approach introducing support for event-driven data transmissions and node joining at runtime and providing a novel adaptive technique for energy balancing among nodes to further increase network lifetime. This paper provides a detailed description of the dynamic protocol and simulation results on network lifetime and routing performance with comparative assessments.

Abstract
Topology management protocols play an important role in WSNs, managing the sleep transitions of the nodes to make data transmissions occur in an energy-efficient way, thus prolonging network lifetime. However, classical topology management protocols are not suitable for real-time WSNs, as they may introduce unbounded delays. In a previous work, we presented a static topology management protocol specifically designed for real-time WSNs which is able to provide bounded delay and routing fidelity. This paper extends such work, presenting a dynamic topology management protocol that surpasses the static approach introducing support for event-driven data transmissions and node joining at runtime and providing a novel adaptive technique for energy balancing among nodes to further increase network lifetime. This paper provides a detailed description of the dynamic protocol and simulation results on network lifetime and routing performance with comparative assessments.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
