Improving WSNs sleep scheduling mechanism with SDN-like architecture

Abstract

We propose a SDN-like architecture based WSN and improve the existing EC-CKN Sleep Scheduling mechanism to implement more efficient energy management. A SDN-like architecture is adopted instead of traditional WSN architecture and EC-CKN algorithm is applied as the fundamental algorithm. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of the proposed SDN-ECCKN on the WSN with SDN-like architecture.
