Abstract

This chapter presents an intelligent method of optimising the radiation beam of wireless sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Each node has the feature of a monopole antenna. The optimisation involves selection of nodes to be organised as close as possible to a uniform linear array (ULA) in order to minimise the position errors, which will improve the radiation beam reconfiguring performance. Instead of utilising random beamforming, which needs a large number of sensor nodes to interact with each other and form a narrow radiation beam, the developed optimisation algorithm is emphasized to only a selected number of sensor nodes which can construct a linear array. Thus, the method utilises radiation beam reconfiguration technique to intelligently establish a communication link in a WSN.
