Topological localization approach for efficient energy management of WSN

What is it about?
This research work is primarily based on the wireless sensor network domain. Further, my work is more specific on fault tolerance approaches for wireless sensor networks where I have targeted the energy management theme. Through my research work, many novel fault-tolerant approaches have been developed like PE-LEACH, UEC, PBC, EBCF, and ULDF protocols.
Why is it important?
The wireless sensor network (WSN) is limited with resources like computation power, energy, and memory. On the other hand, WSN is playing as a key technology for many smart automation models. The WSN consists of sensors and these sensors can be deployed both in a domestic and harsh or hostile environment. In the domestic environment, energy is not an issue as it can be supplied from external resources. Whereas for harsh and hostile deployment lifetime of the sensor is a critical issue. So, through this research work, my target is how to invest the stipulated energy in an optimized way so that the lifetime of WSN can be prolonged. The faulty sensors or sensors with low energy levels can hamper the overall performance of the WSN.
Perspectives
The energy management in WSN can be achieved through many ways like localization technique, topological arrangement, by making behavioral changes in nodes, by maintaining sleep and awake phase, etc. The approach of energy management in WSN is always application-specific. So, based on the application or environment of deployment, the protocol can be developed by anyone or by a hybrid approach. This work generally comes under "fault tolerance" techniques for WSN. This work may be solved by considering both crisp or fuzzy data.
