Study of Cluster Formation Algorithm for Aquaculture WSN Based on Cross-Layer Design

摘要

Aquaculture WSN is composed of a large number of nodes with different monitoring function. In this paper, we present a cluster formation algorithm in Sensor MAC for event-driven Aquaculture WSN. The technique proposed is based on cross-layer design which is adopted to reduce the energy waste and guarantee the data transmissions. The event-driven Aquaculture WSN is simulated by OPNET and MATLAB. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol saves node energy, shortens average packet latency, and improves event detection reliability.
