Distributed optimization of lifetime and throughput with power consumption balance opportunistic routing in dynamic wireless sensor networks

This article studies a joint performance optimization on the network lifetime and network throughput for an energy-constrained dynamic wireless sensor network. We propose a fully distributed power consumption balance opportunistic routing scheme to cope with the dynamic network that is not considered in the classic low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy routing and evenly allocate power consumption among the sensor nodes for obtaining longer network lifetime. Moreover, a fully distributed optimization solution, whose distinctive feature to the Lagrange dual approach is capable of handling the changing network, is developed to achieve joint performance optimization of objectives. We mathematically prove the convergence of the proposed solution and analyze its computational complexity. Extensive simulation results illustrate the effective measures to deal with the varying network of power consumption balance opportunistic routing and the best tradeoff performance achieved by the proposed solution and evaluate the more positive impact on the network lifetime of power consumption balance opportunistic routing than the existing routings and better ability to adapt the dynamic network of the proposed solution than the Lagrange dual approach.
