AN ALGORITHM FOR OPERATING AND OPTIMIZING INFORMATION FLOWS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS.

Galkin, Pavel

The paper suggests a principle for splitting a wireless sensor network into piconetworks. The approach allows using advantages of cluster ization. A criteria matrix is suggested as a determiner of factors that would impact the intensity of information flows. The devised algorithm facilitates managing the information flow through network nodes. The ant algorithm would be modified in two ways. The first approach is based on an algorithm of managing data transmission through the node of a wireless sensor network and additional exploiting of the node buffer. The second approach to modification suggests introduction of a semaphore principle. The two modifications may be considered as separate modified ant algorithms. The suggested ant algorithm with the use of semaphores can be applied for optimizing routes and traffic as well as for other tasks within large dimensions of search areas. The semaphore method would be used to restrict access to some nodes: in the first case-through a fixed number of flows, while in the second case-through nodes receiving alarm signaling. The research findings can be applied in designing wireless sensor networks.
