Abstract

The impact of the non-uniform individual sensor node lifetime on the connectivity of a data gathering tree over time is studied in this research. The lifetime of sensor devices depends on the device failure rate and/or battery energy depletion, and surviving nodes may not preserve the uniform node density across the network as nodes age. We first examine the general node aging problem by considering the energy consumption rate and the node failure rate. The energy consumption rate in a data gathering tree is presented with or without data aggregation. The nodes in each hop level show a different energy depletion rates even with data aggregation, which is studied by mathematical analysis as well as simulation results. Then, the resulting non-uniform connectivity over time in a data gathering tree is examined with a node's survivor function. It is shown by mathematical analysis and simulation results that the node aging process has a significant impact on the connectivity as the hop distance increases.
