Prolonging the network lifetime is one of the
most important designing objectives in wireless sensor networks
(WSN). We consider a heterogeneous cluster-based WSN, which
consists of two types of nodes: powerful cluster-heads and
basic sensor nodes. All the nodes are randomly deployed in a
specific area. To better balance the energy dissipation, we use a
simple mixed communication modes where the sensor nodes can
communicate with cluster-heads in either single-hop or multi-hop
mode. Given the initial energy of the basic sensor nodes, we derive
the optimal communication range and identify the optimal mixed
communication mode to maximize the WSN’s lifetime through
optimizations. Moreover, we also extend our model from 2-D
space to 3-D space.
