Abstract Water quality sensor networks are widely used in water resource monitoring. However, due to the fact that the energy of these networks cannot be supplemented in time, it is necessary to study effective routing protocols to extend their lifecycle. To address the problem of limited resources, a routing optimization algorithm based on a small-world network model is proposed. In this paper, a small-world network model is introduced for water quality sensor networks, in which the short average path and large clustering coefficient of the model are used to construct a super link. A short average path can reduce the network’s… More >

Abstract Water quality sensor networks are promising tools for the exploration of oceans. Some key areas need to be monitored effectively. Water quality sensors are deployed randomly or uniformly, however, and understanding how to deploy sensor nodes reasonably and realize effective monitoring of key areas on the basis of monitoring the whole area is an urgent problem to be solved. Additionally, energy is limited in water quality sensor networks. When moving sensor nodes, we should extend the life cycle of the sensor networks as much as possible. In this study, sensor nodes in non-key monitored areas are moved to key areas.… More >
