Abstract

Along this chapter, duty-cycling is methodically described and categorized, protocols are analyzed and compared. As abundantly detailed, duty-cycling can be achieved through two different and yet complementary approaches; specifically, topology control and power management. Topology control is by finding the optimal subset of nodes that guarantee connectivity. This scheme exploits node redundancy, which is typical in WSNs, and adaptively selects only a minimum subset of nodes to remain active for maintaining connectivity. Nodes that are not currently needed for ensuring connectivity can go to sleep and save energy. Therefore, the basic idea behind topology control is to exploit the network redundancy to prolong the network longevity, typically increasing the network lifetime by a factor of 2–3 with respect to a network with all nodes always ON. Topology control protocols encompass location-driven protocols and connectivity-driven protocols. Power management is by operating duty-cycling on active nodes. Active nodes are those selected by the topology control protocol; they do not need to maintain their radio continuously ON. They can switch OFF the radio, by putting it in the low-power sleep mode, when there is no network activity, thus alternating between sleep and wakeup periods.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter; it is how coffee is usually made. In statistical physics and mathematics, percolation theory describes the behavior of connected clusters in a random graph.

  2. 2.

    In physics, it means of unequal physical properties along different axes.

    In Botany, it means of different dimensions along different axes.

  3. 3.

    First published in SenSys’03.

  4. 4.

    Starvation is a problem encountered in concurrent computing where a process is perpetually denied necessary resources to process its work. Starvation may be caused by errors in a scheduling or mutual exclusion algorithm, but can also be caused by resource leaks and can be intentionally caused via a denial-of-service attack. In computer networks, especially wireless networks, scheduling algorithms may suffer from scheduling starvation; an example is maximum throughput scheduling.

  5. 5.

    CCA is a technique used by MAC protocols to effectively avoid collisions, and it accurately determines if the channel is clear.

  6. 6.

    A value that “lies outside” (is much smaller or larger than) most of the other values in a set of data.
