Lei Shu, Mithun Mukherjee, Di Wang, Wei Hua Fang, Yu Chen · 2017
Group connectivity is one of the major research challenges in large-scale industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs). Critical nodes (CNs) are mainly responsible to maintain group-connectivity. This article focuses on prioritize these CNs to sleep more than other nodes in order to save their energy resulting prolong global connectivity in group-based IWSNs.
