Energy-balance data transmission algorithm with biased random walk
Jianxi Fan · Journal of Communications · 2011
To improve the data transmission performance,a practical algorithm that biased the random walk was proposed,in which the probability function at each step reflects the node available energy with due consideration to delay.Specifically,the transmission range of sensors was decomposed into concentric circular bands rings based on a minimum transmission distance between any pair of sensors,the nodes that lay on or were close to the shortest path between a source and a sink distributed data as proxy forwarders in data transmission from a source to a sink,helped simultaneously balance energy consumption and delay.Moreover,the comparison with other algorithms also provides an indication of the effectiveness of the algorithm.
