Abstract:

Considering the limitation of communication capacity and energy for nodes in wireless sensor networks, a beamforming scheme based on immune genetic algorithm is proposed. First,the impact of the transmission coefficients and the number of selected nodes whose arrival phase have difference on the network energy consumption is analyzed. Then,the nodes participating in transmission are selected according to their residual energy and arrival phase combined with rotated factor and their transmission coefficients are adjusted using immune genetic algorithm. Simulation shows that the energy consumption among the nodes can be balanced and the network lifetime can be prolonged effectively.

Key words: wireless sensor networks, beamforming, energy balance
