Article Citation - WoS: 74Citation - Scopus: 89QERP: Quality-Of (QoS) Aware Evolutionary Routing Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2018-09) Faheem, Muhammad; Tuna, Gurkan; Gungor, Vehbi CagriQuality-of-service (QoS) aware reliable data delivery is a challenging issue in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). This is clue to impairments of the acoustic transmission caused by excessive noise, extremely long propagation delays, high bit error rate, low bandwidth capacity, multipath effects, and interference. To address these challenges, meet the commonly used UWSN performance indicators, and overcome the inefficiencies of the existing clustering-based routing schemes, a novel QoS aware evolutionary cluster based routing protocol (QERP) has been proposed for UWSN-based applications. The proposed protocol improves packet delivery ratio, and reduces average end-to-end delay and overall network energy consumption. Our comparative performance evaluations demonstrate that QERP is successful in achieving low network delay, high packet delivery ratio, and low energy consumption.Article Citation - WoS: 145Citation - Scopus: 177Packet Size Optimization in Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Grid Applications(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2017-03) Kurt, Sinan; Yildiz, Huseyin Ugur; Yigit, Melike; Tavli, Bulent; Gungor, Vehbi CagriWireless sensor networks (WSNs) are envi-sioned to be an important enabling technology for smart grid (SG) due to the low cost, ease of deployment, and versatility of WSNs. Limited battery energy is the tightest resource constraint on WSNs. Transmission power control and data packet size optimization are powerful mechanisms for prolonging network lifetime and improving energy effi-ciency. Increasing transmission power will reduce the bit error rate (BER) on some links, however, utilizing the high-est power level will lead to inefficient use of battery energy because on links with low path loss achieving low BER is possible without the need to use the highest power level. Utilizing a large packet size is beneficial for increasing the payload-to-overhead ratio, yet, lower packet sizes have the advantage of lower packet error rate. Furthermore, trans-mission power level assignment and packet size selection are interrelated. Therefore, joint optimization of transmission power level and packet size is of utmost importance in WSN lifetime maximization. In this study, we construct a de-tailed link layer model by employing the characteristics of Tmote Sky WSN nodes and channel characteristics based on actual measurements of SG path loss for various envi-ronments. A novel mixed integer programming framework is created by using the aforementioned link layer model for WSN lifetime maximization by joint optimization of trans-mission power level and data packet size. We analyzed the WSN performance by systematic exploration of the parameter space for various SG environments through the numer-ical solutions of the optimization model.Article Citation - WoS: 80Citation - Scopus: 95Packet Size Optimization for Lifetime Maximization in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019-02) Yildiz, Huseyin Ugur; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri; Tavli, BulentRecently, underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been proposed to explore underwater environments for scientific, commercial, and military purposes. However, long propagation delays, high transmission losses, packet drops, and limited bandwidth in underwater propagation environments make realization of reliable and energy-efficient communication a challenging task for UASNs. To prolong the lifetime of battery-limited UASNs, two critical factors (i.e., packet size and transmission power) play vital roles. At one hand, larger packets are vulnerable to packet errors, while smaller packets are more resilient to such errors. In general, using smaller packets to avoid bit errors might be a good option. However, when small packets are used, more frames should be transmitted due to the packet fragmentation, and hence, network overhead and energy consumption increases. On the other hand, increasing transmission power reduces frame errors, but this would result in unnecessary energy consumption in the network. To this end, the packet size and transmission power should be jointly considered to improve the network lifetime. In this study, an optimization framework via an integer linear programming (ILP) has been proposed to maximize the network lifetime by joint optimization of the transmission power and packet size. In addition, a realistic link-layer energy consumption model is designed by employing the physical layer characteristics of UASNs. Extensive numerical analysis through the optimization model has been also performed to investigate the tradeoffs caused by the transmission power and packet size quantitatively.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 31On the Lifetime of Compressive Sensing Based Energy Harvesting in Underwater Sensor Networks(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019-06-15) Erdem, Huseyin Emre; Yildiz, Huseyin Ugur; Gungor, Vehbi CagriRecently, there has been a growing interest in academia and industry on the development of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) for scientific, commercial, and military purposes. Severe underwater channel conditions and limited battery energy of underwater nodes pose great challenges to prolong UASNs lifetime. Compressive sensing (CS), energy harvesting (EH), and transmission power control (TPC) are three promising solutions to improve UASNs lifetime. This paper aims to quantitatively investigate the joint impact of CS, EH, and TPC methods on the lifetime of UASNs. A novel Mixed Integer Programming framework is developed to maximize the network lifetime by joint consideration of CS, EH, and TPC. The performance results show that the impact of CS on the network lifetime is higher than that of EH when both methods are combined with TPC. Moreover, when all three methods are combined, the network lifetime can be extended up to three times as compared to the case when all three methods are not utilized.
