Energy Optimization in Redundant WSNs under Deterministic and Probabilistic Sensing Models

Almost all WSNs are deployed with some redundancy degree which is used only for robustness objectives. If not handled in an intelligent way, redundancy results in energy wasting because of redundant transmission and reception operations. In view of this energy wasting, a redundancy detection method under sensing models is proposed. We propose to take benefit from measurement redundancy to optimize the energy consumption and improve the end-to-end delay. We propose OER (Optimization of Energy based on Redundancy) protocol, to improve energy consumption in WSNs.
