They play an important role of enhancing and improving coverage and flexibility of safety monitoring systems.Regions prone to danger and environments after disasters in underground mines require saving and balancing energy consumption of nodes to prolong the lifespan of networks.Based on the structure of a tunnel,we present a Long Chain-type Wireless Sensor Network(LC-WSN)to monitor the safety of underground mine tunnels.We define the optimal transmission distance and the range of the key region and present an Energy Optimal Routing(EOR)algorithm for LC-WSN to balance the energy consumption of nodes and maximize the lifespan of networks.EOR constructs routing paths based on an optimal transmission distance and uses an energy balancing strategy in the key region.Simulation results show that the EOR algorithm extends the lifespan of a network,balances the energy consumption of nodes in the key region and effectively limits the length of routing paths,compared with similar algorithms.展开更多

We present MGRP, a Multi-Gradient Routing Protocol for wireless sensor networks, which is fully distributed and efficiently supports endto-end, one-to-many and many-to-one traffic patterns by effectively construct and maintain a gradient vector for each node. We further combine neighbor link estimation with routing information to reduce packet exchange on network dynamics and node failures. We have implemented MGRP on Tiny OS and evaluated its performance on real-world testbeds. The result shows MGRP achieves lower end-to-end packet delay in different traffic patterns compared to the state of the art routing protocols while still remains high packet delivery ratio.展开更多

Based on the characteristic of limited energy for WSNs in confined underground area such as coal face and laneway, we presents an energy- efficient clustering routing protocol based on weight (ECRPW) to prolong the lifetime of networks. ECRPW takes into consideration the nodes' residual energy during the election process of cluster heads. The constraint of distance threshold is used to optimize cluster scheme. Furthermore, the protocol also sets up a routing tree based on cluster heads' weight. The results show that ECRPW had better perfor- mance in energy consumption, death ratio of node and network lifetime.展开更多

However, using the ...Opportunistic routing takes advantage of the broadcast nature of wireless communications by forwarding data through a set of opportunistic paths instead of one 'best' path in traditional routing. However, using the global scheduling opportunistic scheme like the existing opportunistic routing protocol (ExOR) would consume considerable transmission latency and energy in large-scale wireless topologies. In this article, a graph partitioning algorithm is proposed, namely, minimum cut with laplacians (MCL), to divide the Ad-hoc network topology into subgraphs with minimized edge cuts across them. Then the existing opportunistic routing can be applied locally in each subgraph. In this way, forwarders in different subgraphs can transmit simultaneously, and each node only needs to maintain a local forwarder list instead of a global one. The simulations show that using MCL scheme in the opportunistic routing can reduce the end-to-end delay by about 49%, and increase the life time of the wireless node by about 39%.展开更多
