The intracluster communication protocols of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the literature are designed according to time division multiple access (TDMA) with random slot allocations. This thesis proposes a novel scheduling algorithm for WSNs, in which cluster members (CMs) request time slots according to their energy predictions, and cluster head (CH) assigns these slots to members. The aim of this work is to increase the network lifetime by arranging the duty cycling of wireless sensor nodes. The simulations show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the intracluster communication protocol designed in LEACH. In addition, this thesis includes the implementation of a new communication technology, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), in a way to ensure energy neutral operation. BLE113 Development Kit transmits the advertisement packets, whose advertising intervals are arranged according to the energy harvesting pattern, to the BLE112 USB Dongle by Bluegiga. These advertisement packets also allow us to observe the conditions of the energy sources that power up BLE113 Development Kit. The tests conducted using this application in indoor and outdoor environments show that the throughput is maximized.

Path planning and localization for mobile anchor based wireless sensor networks Erdemir, Ecenaz; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) In wireless sensor networks, sensors with limited resources are distributed in a wide area. Localizing the sensors is an important problem. Anchor nodes with known positions are used for sensor localization. A simple and efficient way of generating anchor nodes is to use mobile anchors which have built-in GPS units. In this thesis, a single mobile anchor is used to traverse the region of interest to communicate with the sensor nodes and identify their positions. Therefore planning the best trajectory for th...
Rule-based in-network processing for event-driven applications in wireless sensor networks Şanlı, Özgür; Yazıcı, Adnan; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim; Department of Computer Engineering (2011) Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks that necessitate the development of specific network and information processing architectures that can meet the requirements of the applications involved. The most important challenge related to wireless sensor networks is the limited energy and computational resources of the battery powered sensor nodes. Although the central processing of information produces the most accurate results, it is not an energy-efficient method because it requires a cont...
Query based energy efficient clustering methods for wireless sensor networks Koşar, Onur; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2011) In Wireless Sensor Networks, designing a low overhead routing protocol is crucial for prolonging network lifetime. Wireless sensor nodes depend on limited batteries and if they run out of battery, they cannot contribute to the sensing. There are lots of studies aimed at prolonging network lifetime. One of the methods to extend life time of the wireless sensor networks is clustering. In clustering approaches main aim is to prevent unnecessary messaging and decrease number of messages exchanged by aggregating...
Immune system based distributed node and rate selection in wireless sensor networks Atakan, Baris; Akan, Ozguer B. (2006-12-13) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of dense deployed sensor nodes. Due to the dense deployment, since sensor observations are spatially correlated with respect to spatial location of sensor nodes, it may not be necessary for every sensor node to transmit its data. Therefore, due to the resource constraints of sensor nodes it is needed to select the minimum number of sensor nodes to transmit the data to the sink. Furthermore, to achieve the application-...
