摘要
In order to improve network connectivity in clustered wireless sensor networks,a node cooperative algorithm based on virtual antenna arrays is proposed.All the nodes in the network are assumed to be clustered via Poisson Voronoi tessellation（PVT）.The activation of the node cooperative algorithm is determined by the cluster heads（CHs） according to communication links.When the cooperative algorithm is activated,the CH selects cooperative nodes（CNs） from its members to form a virtual antenna array.With the cooperation,nodes can extend the inter-cluster communication range to directly contact with further nodes after a coverage hole is detected,or compensate for channel gains while inter-cluster transmission fails due to deep channel fading.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better network connectivity and energy efficiency.It can reduce outage probability,sustain network connectivity and maintain operations as long as possible,which prolongs network operation time.
针对分簇无线传感器网络提出了一种基于虚拟天线阵列的协作算法. 该算法通过节点间的协作来提高网络连通性,所有节点均按照泊松Voronoi网格模型进行分簇,簇首根据通信链路决定是否激活节点协作;若节点协作算法被激活,簇首从其成员中选择适合的节点作为协作节点共同组成虚拟天线阵列.通过协作,可扩展簇间的通信范围从而与远方节点直接通信以避免出现通信覆盖盲区,或者可补偿信道增益以防止由于信道深衰落所导致的传输失败.仿真结果表明,协作算法在通信过程中具有更好的连通性及能量效率,可有效降低接收端的丢包率,维持网络的连通性,从而延长网络的工作时间.
