Abstract:
Self-configuration of sequence order, including network addresses and data reporting times, is important in a sensor network. This process empowers sensors to dynamically assign short-length addresses, thereby enhancing energy efficiency in sensing-data reporting. In the absence of configuration servers, sensors self-organize into function roles of sever-client, enabling the dynamic formation of address servers to assign short-length addresses to sensors. This paper addresses the configuration distance problem with an aim of shortening the distance of configuration routes between the address server and clients. We propose a prioritized self-configuration method that employs spatial-temporal control of configuration according to the topological distance to the client server in each round of address configuration. Numerical evaluations are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed method. The evaluation results show that the proposed method enables a significant decrease of up to 30 percent in the configuration distance.
