A novel and optimized computational framework for energy efficient data dissemination in wireless sensor network

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an integral part of internet-of-things (IoT), where a large scale of data transmission and various complex services are identified to be delivered. In order to facilitate these services, energy efficiency is one critical demand for resource-constraint sensor nodes. Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) has been considered for effective traffic management for high-end data delivery services. A review of existing literature on CSMA-based schemes shows that it has not yet achieved an optimal case of energy efficiency. Hence, the proposed study presents a novel computational framework in order to address this research gap. The prime contribution of the proposed study is towards presenting an optimal computational model for maximized fairness in data dissemination services in WSN especially focusing on energy efficiency. The presented study model also contributes towards optimizing route buffer and buffer power, which facilitates towards availability of energy-efficient path information. The study also introduces a mobile auxiliary node that aggregates the data from sensor nodes and delivers it to the sink node considering dynamic location updates for seamless transmission. Scripted in MATLAB, the proposed scheme exhibited 70% energy saving compared to conventional schemes of CSMA in WSN.
