Increasing the network lifetime is considered as one of the major issue in wireless sensor network (WSN). The network lifetime can be increased with the introduction of the heterogeneity in sensor nodes. Many heterogeneous routing algorithms in WSN are proposed. In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of distributed energy efficient clustering algorithm (DEEC), developed distributed ene...

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), lifetime maximization is a critical issue because of the restricted power supply. Therefore, the objective of lifetime maximization is to save energy for each sensor node. However, the application performance depends strongly on the amount of data gathered from each source node in the network. Higher data rates causes greater sensing and communication costs r...

This report addresses the design of distributed medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless sensor networks under the performance measure of network lifetime. Integrated in the design of MAC schemes are two key physical layer parameters: the channel state and the residual energy of each sensor. The impact of incorporating these parameters in MAC design on network lifetime is studied. Fur...

This paper proposes LBA, a lifetime balanced data aggregation scheme for the Internet of Things (IoT) under an application-specified end-to-end delay requirement. In contrast to existing aggregation schemes, LBA aims to prolong the IoT network lifetime under network heterogeneity and dynamics, while ensuring the required data delivery delay. To achieve this goal in a distributed manner, LBA ada...

Recently, Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET) have been proposed to empower 5G networks support complex missions and provide ubiquitous connectivity heterogeneous devices. However, it is needed cope with the limited UAV capabilities (e.g., available energy supply engines computing elements, capabilities), as well need network application services foreseen in highly dynamic time varying ecosystems. T...
