Minimum Energy Consumption Topology Control for Wireless Sensor Networks

In order to reduce energy consumption of wireless sensor networks, a minimum energy consumption topology control method based on artificial immune response is proposed. The basic principle of topology control in wireless sensor networks is analyzed. An artificial immune response model used to the minimum energy consumption topology control is established. After that the minimum energy consumption topology control is achieved by using the parallel search ability of artificial immune response, and its convergence is also proved. The energy consumption performance of topology control in wireless sensor networks is improved. Compared with genetic algorithm, the simulation results show that the method can obtain better performance in terms of energy consumption transmission efficiency and convergence.
