Energy-Balanced Variable Transmission Range Adjustment in WSNs with Quality Coverage

This paper considers a circular high-density WSNs, which is divided into several homogeneous sectors. For a sector, the route nodes transmit data to base station (BS) along the sides of the sector and the radio of nodes can cover all areas of target area. The paper presents an energy-balance solution to balance the energy consumption, by adjusting transmission range with quality coverage under a FSCTA (full sensing coverage of target area). Our scheme is called energy-balanced variable transmission range adjustment in WSNs with quality coverage (EBVTC). Simulation results show the efficiency of our approach.
