A Wireless Sensor Network Model Using Douglas-Peucker Algorithm in The IoT Environment

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which are the major component in the Internet of Things (IoT) mainly use interconnected intelligent wireless sensors. The operation of wireless sensors is typically powered by batteries and recharging batteries is difficult due to the rugged environments where they operate. Therefore, the study for prolonging the network lifetime is one of the most important challenges in WSNs. In this paper, we propose a Wireless Sensor Network Model (WSNM) using Douglas-Peucker algorithm in the IoT environment to prolong the network lifetime. The performance of WSNM is compared with PEGASIS and Enhanced-PEGASIS. In the simulation results, the performance of WSNM outperforms PEGASIS and Enhanced-PEGASIS. 1
