摘要

Energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks is a crucial factor that affects the performance of the networks, as long-time and unceasing energy supply is impossible. Recent studies demonstrated that the previously proposed scheme of joint adaptive network-channel coding (JANCC) and adaptive dynamic energy consumption (ADEC) obtained an excellent performance in terms of energy efficiency. Based on the joint network-channel coding, we propose an enhanced ADEC optimization scheme, which integrates the essence of both JANCC and ADEC, and overcomes the shortcomings of them. In the scheme, an identifier vector is inserted into the feedback information. The relay node is able to acquire the specific signs of the channel codes received in error based on the identifier vector and transmit the network coded packets only related to those channel codes received in error. Through this method, it can achieve adjustments for the current round of transmission. Performance analyses and simulation results show that the proposed optimization scheme is more energy efficient than any other schemes of interest under the condition of meeting the requirement of transmission reliability.
