| Summary: | Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are presented as
proper solution for wildfire monitoring. However, this application
requires a design of WSN taking into account the network lifetime
and the shadowing effect generated by the trees in the forest
environment. Cooperative communication is a promising solution
for WSN which uses, at each hop, the resources of multiple nodes
to transmit its data. Thus, by sharing resources between nodes,
the transmission quality is enhanced. In this paper, we use the
technique of reinforcement learning by opponent modeling, optimizing
a cooperative communication protocol based on RSSI and
node energy consumption in a competitive context (RSSI/energy-CC), that is, an energy and quality-of-service aware-based cooperative
communication routing protocol. Simulation results show that the
proposed algorithm performs well in terms of network lifetime,
packet delay, and energy consumption. |
