Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used in various industries such as in healthcare, military, disaster relief and environment monitoring applications. WSNs have an advantage over wired systems as they are easy to deploy at a low cost. Despite this, WSNs possess several setbacks such as high energy consumption which in turn shortens the lifetime of the networks. One of the methods that have been studied to overcome this problem is by implementing a Topology Control (TC) in a WSN. TC is the reorganization and management of node parameters and modes of operation to modify the topology of the network with the goal of extending its lifetime while preserving the connectivity and sensing coverage. In this project, the performance of the K-Neigh tree TC protocol is evaluated by combining it with selected Topology Maintenance (TM) algorithm to determine the best combination for a network with reduced energy consumption and longer network lifetime. The simulation is carried out by deploying a 100 node network in the WSN simulator called Atarraya. The outcome of this project shows that the most optimum configuration is the combination of the K-Neigh tree TC protocol with HGTTRecRot TM algorithm.
