Investigation of the effects of route localization and scalability on wireless sensor network lifetime

Sensor node design, security in wireless sensor network, power consumption, integration of wireless sensor network with other networks, power consumption are main research subjects wireless sensor networks. In WSN, deploying nodes, their maintenance, renewal of energy sources are challenging tasks. Thus, network lifetime maximization is critical issue in wireless sensor network. Furthermore, similar to in all networks scalability of wireless network is a primary goal to achieve. However, there is a tradeoff between optimization of energy consumption (maximization of network lifetime) and scalability that aim to achieve a high performance network. In this study, we try to achieve scalability through localization and we investigate the effect of localization strategy on network lifetime under ideal conditions. We build a novel Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) framework in order to study lifetime of network. For sampling a large space parameter are used and the results are analyzed statistically.
