Method for identifying boundary nodes in distributed wireless sensor network

Abstract

The invention provides a method for identifying boundary nodes in a distributed wireless sensor network. The method is used for identifying the boundary nodes in the sensor network by utilising a DSCS (Distributed Sector Cover Scanning) technology and is applicable to homogeneous or different non-uniform wireless sensor networks same in function, sensing and communication ranges. The method comprises the following steps that: (1), the nodes independently collect neighbour information in the network; (2), each node establishes a cartesian coordinate system by taking self as the circle centre and calculates an absolute angle of a neighbour node thereof; (3), the neighbour nodes are sorted in an ascending manner according to the absolute angles; and (4), the boundary nodes are identified by utilizing DSCS. According to the invention, the technological problem that the identification precision of the boundary nodes in the traditional wireless sensor network is low can be solved; the identification problem of the boundary nodes in the wireless sensor network is decomposed into the sensing sector edge coverage problem of one node; therefore, the algorithm complexity is effectively reduced; the operation time and the inter-node communication and energy consumption in the boundary node identification process are reduced; and the identification precision is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention involves a distributed wireless sensor network boundary node recognition method, which belongs to the field of wireless sensor network technology. Background technique [0002] Wireless sensor networks are widely used in combat area monitoring, environmental monitoring, dangerous events / regional detection and health monitoring applications.The wireless sensor network is composed of many sensor nodes that are low -cost, diverse, and can perform short -range wireless communication. Because wireless sensors can perform hazardous areas or people's traces difficult to reach regional monitoring tasks, it has become a hot spot at home and abroad.Wireless sensors can be randomly deployed through the airborne platform or artillery shooting, which is one of its biggest advantages that distinguish between traditional networks.It is difficult to be replaced by the affected the battery carried by the node itself. At the same time, the node fails due to ext...
