2. Agenda • Recent work • Holistic radio power management (MSWiM 07, MobiHoc 05, TOSN 07) • Rendezvous scheduling in mobility-assisted sensor networks (RTSS 07) • Previous work • Integrated connectivity and coverage configuration (Sensys 03, TOSN 05) • Impact of coverage on greedy geographic routing (MobiHoc 04, TPDS 06)

3. Understanding Radio Power Cost • Sleeping consumes much less power than idle listening • Motivate sleep scheduling[Polastre et al. 04, Ye et al. 04] • Transmission consumes most power • Motivate transmission power control[Singh et al. 98,Li et al. 01,Li and Hou 03] • None of existing schemes minimizes the total energy consumption in all radio states Power consumption of CC1000 Radio in different states

4. a sends to c at normalized rate of r = Data Rate / Band Width Source and relay nodes remain active Configuration 1: a→b→c Configuration 2: a→c, b sleeps An Example of Minimizing Total Radio Energy c b a

5. Average Power Consumption c • Configuration 1: a→b→c a’s avg. power b’s avg. power c’s avg. power b rx a idle b’s activity time tx • Configuration 2: a→c, b sleeps

6. Power Control vs. Sleep Scheduling Transmission power dominates: use low transmission power Power Consumption 3Pidle 2Pidle+Psleep 1 r0 Idle power dominates: use high transmission power since more nodes can sleep

8. Distributed min-power routing algorithms • Incremental Shortest-path Tree Heuristic • Known approx. ratio is O(k) • Minimum Steiner Tree Heuristic • Approx. ratio is 1.5(Prx+Ptx-Pidle)/Pidle (≈ 5 on Mica2 motes)

9. Dynamic Min-power Data Dissemination • Models several realistic properties • Online arrivals of requests • Online data rate changes of existing requests • Total power consumption of all radio states • Broadcast nature of wireless channel • Lossy links • Two lightweight tree adaptation heuristics • Path-quality based tree adaptation • Monitor the quality of each path, find a new path if necessary • Reference-rate based tree adaptation • Monitor the reference of all data rates, find a new tree if necessary

11. Mobility in Ad Hoc Networks • Used to be treated as a curse • Corruptions to network topologies • Complication of network protocol design • Recently exploited as a blessing • Mobile elements (MEs) communicate with sensors and transport data Mechanically • MEs can recharge their power supplies • Reduce network transmission energy cost • Add extra links in partitioned networks

12. Characteristics of ME and Multi-hop Routing

13. High-bandwidth Data Collection • Tight delay requirements • “Report the temperature every 20 minute, data are sampled every 10 seconds” • Traveling to each sensor is not feasible • Rendezvous-based data collection • Some nodes serve as rendezvous points (RPs) • Sources send data to RPs via multiple hops • MEs visit RPs within the deadline • Minimize the network energy cost

14. Illustration • Sensing field is 500 × 500 m2. • The ME moves at 0.5 m/s. • It takes ME ~ 20 minutes to visit all RPs located about 100 m from the BS. • It takes ME > 2 hours to visit 100 randomly distributed sources

15. Solutions • An optimal algorithm when ME moves along the routing tree • A constant approx-ratio algorithm when data can be aggregated in the network • Two heuristics when there is no data aggregation

16. Agenda • Recent work • Holistic radio power management (MSWiM 07, MobiHoc 05, TOSN 07) • Rendezvous scheduling in mobility-assisted sensor networks (RTSS 07) • Previous work • Integrated connectivity and coverage configuration (Sensys 03, TOSN 05) • Impact of coverage on greedy geographic routing (MobiHoc 04, TPDS 06)

17. Power Management under Performance Constraints • Performance constraints • “Any target within the region must be detected”  K-coverage: every point is monitored by at least K active sensors • “Report the target to the base station within 30 sec”  N-connectivity: network is still connected if N-1 active nodes fail Routing performance: route length can be predicted • Focus on fundamental relations between the constraints base station

18. Connectivity vs. Coverage: Analytical Results • Network connectivity does not guarantee coverage • Connectivity only concerns with node locations • Coverage concerns with all locations in a region • If Rc/Rs 2 • K-coverage  K-connectivity • Implication: given requirements of K-coverage and N-connectivity, only needs to satisfy max(K, N)-coverage • Solution: Coverage Configuration Protocol (CCP) • If Rc/Rs< 2 • CCP + SPAN [chen et al. 01]

19. Greedy Forwarding with Coverage • Always forward to the neighbor closest to destination • Simple, local decision based on neighbor locations • Fail when a node can’t find a neighbor better than itself • Always succeed with coverage when Rc/Rs > 2 • Hop count from u and v is shortest Euclidean distance to destination Rc A destination B

20. Bounded Voronoi Greedy Forwarding (BVGF) • A neighbor is a candidate only if the line joining source and destination intersects its Voronoi region • Greedy: choose the candidate closest to destination x and y are candidates Rc x y u z v not a candidate
