Abstract

This chapter describes an energy efficient association method for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The described method can be used to implement an association procedure by which an improved processing rate can be achieved by using a Beacon Only Period (BOP). The performance of mobile nodes is enhanced by using information on depth, traffic, and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). By using the Energy Efficient Association (EEA) method, trusted data can be transferred, and traffic overloads that occur at specific nodes can be prevented. In order to research the performance of the described method, the obtained information, such as depth, traffic rate, and RRSI from the relay nodes, is investigated and analyzed. Simulation results show that the EEA method can be used to obtain an efficient network configuration according to the mobility of nodes in WSNs.
