Delay-Aware Data Collection Network Structure For WSN

Wireless sensor networks utilize large
numbers of wireless sensor nodes to collect information
from their sensing terrain. Wireless sensor nodes are
battery-powered devices. Energy saving is always crucial
to the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. Recently,
many algorithms are proposed to tackle the energy saving
problem in wireless sensor networks. There are strong
needs to develop wireless sensor networks algorithms
with optimization priorities biased to aspects besides
energy saving.
In this project, a delay-aware data collection
network structure for wireless sensor networks is
proposed based on Multi hop Cluster Network. The
objective of the proposed network structure is to
determine delays in the data collection processes. The
path with minimized delay through which the data can be
transmitted from source to destination is also determined.
AODV protocol is used to route the data packets from the
source to destination.
