Abstract Resource management in Underground Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) is one of the pillars to extend the network lifetime. An intriguing design goal for such networks is to achieve balanced energy and spectral resource utilization. This paper focuses on optimizing the resource efficiency in UWSNs where underground relay nodes amplify and forward sensed data, received from the buried source nodes through a lossy soil medium, to the aboveground base station. A new algorithm called the Hybrid Chaotic Salp Swarm and Crossover (HCSSC) algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal source and relay transmission powers to maximize the network resource efficiency.

Abstract Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs) refer to a group of nodes working underneath the earth plane that has been predicted to render concurrent observation capability in the hostile subversive and underwater surroundings. The accurate monitoring in places like underground earth, water, lubricates so on called non-conventional media need high accuracy of tiny sized sensors with antennas at a similar size. Therefore, an investigation is needed to study the opportunities and drawbacks of utilizing WUSNs without compromising the effectiveness of real-time monitoring procedures. With this, the major confrontation is to institute a trustworthy underground communication regardless of the complex environment that… More >
