Survey: Dynamic Duty Cycle Mechanism of WSN for Mobility and Static Nodes
Keywords:
Duty cycle, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Mobility, static nodes, energy efficiencyAbstract
The dynamic duty cycle mechanism in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is designed to optimize power consumption in both static and mobility nodes. This article provides a comprehensive review to extend the life of the network by adjusting the duty cycle of each node based on its hopping state. In the case of mobility nodes, which refer to nodes that move frequently within the network, the duty cycle is dynamically adjusted to balance power consumption and sensing requirements. When a node is in motion, it typically uses a higher duty cycle to ensure continuous monitoring of its surroundings. However, when the node is stationary, the duty cycle can be reduced to reduce unnecessary energy expenditure. For static nodes, which are fixed within network, the duty cycle is fixed at a lower value because it does not require frequent sensing or communication. This conserves energy and allows stationary nodes to operate for extended periods of time without need for battery replacement. By dynamically adjusting the duty cycle based on the mobility status of nodes, WSN can optimize power usage and maximize network lifetime. This mechanism helps ensure efficient operation of the network while accommodating the power requirements of mobility and static nodes.
