AN ADVANCED COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SELF-ORGANIZATION PROTOCOLS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

摘要

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSN) play a crucial role in various fields such as the army, health, the environment, and so on. These new sensors have limitations, which must be taken into consideration when deploying a WSN network, especially their strictly limited energy. Thus, in order to efficiently use the energy of these nodes to improve and increase the lifetime of the entire network, several self-organization algorithms have been proposed to create different network architectures based on required applications. In this article, we will study and examine the various WSN-based self-organization algorithms, highlighting their principles in order to compare them according to different metrics and on multiple requirements such as load balancing, energy efficiency, complexity of the algorithm ... etc. To perform this multi-criteria comparison, we will use the ROC (Rank Order Centroid) multicriteria analysis method, to make the decision when designing and implementing a new efficient and effective self-organization algorithm that will meet all metrics and to all criteria.
