Pallavi D. Joshi, G. M. Asutkar . Lifetime Enhancement of WSN by Heterogeneous Power Distributions to Nodes: A Design Approach. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 3, 6 ( July 2012), 1-4. DOI=10.5120/ijais12-450506
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained growing attention from both the research community and actual users. The lifetime is a critical parameter for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). As Wireless Sensor Network is a system which allows communication among the nodes which have different parameters like battery, transreceiver, sensor etc. This paper focuses on battery part of the node and the efficient utilization of energy source, that is, battery in sensor node to reduce the energy consumption of nodes, so that the network lifetime can be extended. Most previous sensor network lifetime enhancement techniques focused on the uniform battery allocation among homogeneous nodes.
