Title
A Comparative Study of Distributed Self-management Approaches for Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
The goal of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) management solution is to promote network resources productivity and quality of services. This paper presents a comparative study of Client/Server (CS) and Mobile Agent (MA) approaches used in distributed self-management solutions for a hierarchical heterogeneous WSN, in which the managers tire embedded into the cluster head nodes. These approaches were simulated and evaluated according to energy consumption. Considering energy consumption with transmission, the results reveal that the MA approach Is more scalable than the CS one, tending to he more useful when the number of network elements and managed objects increases. On the other hand, the CS approach presents more interesting results regarding energy consumption with processing. Besides, the simulations performed also show that the MA size is an Important parameter that impacts directly on the results.
