Small worlds are investigated in tree-based networks. Due to link ad- ditions, characteristic path lengths reduce rapidly and clustering coefficients increase greatly. A tree abstract, Cayley tree, is con- sidered for the study of the navigation algorithm, which runs auto- matically in the small worlds of tree-based networks. In the further study, epidemics in the small worlds of tree-based wireless sen- sor networks on the large scale are studied, and the percolation threshold is calculated, at which the outbreak of the epidemic takes place.

Unlike well-known topology control schemes, the primary design objective is to reduce the fluctuation which happens due to overload of sensors in a data collection tree. More specifically, an estimation model of a sensor available capacity based on the number of its neighbors is proposed. In addition, this paper proposes a parent selection mechanism by three-way handshake. With such model and the selection mechanism, it is ensured that the load of a sensor does not exceed its available capacity. Finally, an adaptive maintenance mechanism is proposed to adjust the estimation of a sensor available capacity as the network environment changes. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme.展开更多
