Tasks Assignment Algorithm Based on Entropy for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks
Lei Xu · 2011
Aimed at hot zone problem of wireless sensor and actor networks,a tasks assignment algorithm based on entropy was proposed to make the whole network energy consumption more balanced.Considering network situation,the entropy-based cost of taking action model was established by using auction method.The task assignment problem among actors was formulated as a balanced or non-balanced task assignment optimization problem,different task units were executed in parallel to enhance higher real-time response.The result of simulation shows that the algorithm can provide more balance in energy consumption and higher real-time performance.
