Title
The problem of cooperation among different wireless sensor networks
Abstract
An important issue in the design of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is to devise techniques to make efficient use of its energy, and thus, extend its lifetime. When two WSNs are deployed at the same place and their sensors cooperate with the other networks forwarding their packets, the distance of the transmissions decreases and, therefore, the power consumption as well. The goal of this work is to examine the extent to which different WSNs can cooperate and save their energy. Simulation results reveal that different densities and data collecting rates among WSNs, the routing algorithm and the path loss exponent have major impact in the establishment of cooperation.
