The network lifetime measures for wireless sensor networks are mostly based on the percentage of live sensors. However, the lifetime definition must be in accordance with the primary functionality of the network. In surveillance applications, the network must be regarded as dead if the required security level cannot be provisioned. In this paper, we analyze the temporal resilience of deployment quality in surveillance wireless sensor networks and propose several lifetime definitions. It is concluded that having just the necessary number of sensors to satisfy the initial deployment quality requirement is the best strategy to favor the network lifetime.

Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks, and usually a new network design is required for a new application. In event-driven wireless sensor network applications, the sink node of the network is generally concerned with the higher level information describing the events happening in the network, not the raw sensor data of individual sensor nodes. As the communication is a costly operation in wireless sensor networks, it is important to process the raw data triggering the events inside the...
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...
Communication Coverage in Wireless Passive Sensor Networks
Bereketli, Alper; Akan, Ozgur B. (2009-02-01)
System lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSN) is inversely proportional to the energy consumed by critically energy-constrained sensor nodes during RF transmission. In that regard, modulated backscattering (MB) is a promising design choice, in which sensor nodes send their data just by switching their antenna impedance and reflecting the incident signal coming from an RF source. Hence, wireless passive sensor networks (WPSN) designed to operate using MB do not have the lifetime constraints of convention...
Static range assignment in wireless sensor networks
Uzun, Erkay; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Energy is a limited source in wireless sensor networks and in most applications, it is non-renewable; so designing energy-effcient communication patterns is very important. In this thesis, we define the static range assignment (SRA) problem for wireless sensor networks, which focuses on providing the required connectivity in the network with minimum energy consumption. We propose minimum spanning tree based (MST), pruned minimum spanning tree based (MSTP) and shortest path incremental (SPI) algorithms as eff...
Life time sensitive weighted clustering on wireless sensor networks
Alizadeh Jarchlo, Elnaz; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Information Systems (2013)
Wireless Sensor Networks typically include wireless sensor nodes with limited energy. Network lifetime and scalability are considered as two significant requirements for sensor network applications. In order to decrease energy consumption and increase network lifetime one can apply an efficient clustering method. The application of the clustering method proposed in this thesis (LTS-WCA) leads to reducing the energy cost and the transmission distance of each node by grouping the nodes in several clusters and...
