On Base Station Selection for Anycast Flow Routing in Energy-Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview Energy constraints have had a significant impact on the design and operation of wireless sensor networks. This paper investigates base station selection (or anycast) problem in wireless sensor networks. A wireless sensor network having multiple base stations (data sink nodes) is considered where each source node must send all its locally generated data to only one base station. To maximize the network lifetime, it is essential to optimally match each source node to a particular base station in addition to finding an optimal routing solution. The paper also proposes a polynomial time heuristic for optimal base station selection for anycast via a sequential fixing procedure, under the assumption that the bit rate from each source node is constant.

BT set to launch Bluephone

I strongly expect BT to include the base station and possibly handsets in the price of the service. The last thing that BT wants customers to do is go to PC World to buy a Bluetooth base station and configure it themselves at home.

WiMax comes to Westminster

It is starting slowly, though - its first base-station will be installed in Westminster next week, and it believes it will need just three base stations to serve businesses in the Westminster area. It's likely that connection speeds would be much...

Top 10 mobile & wireless stories of the year

Get the punters to buy their own base station? The search giant did finally serve up a mobile offering for 2007 - not a phone but an open source software developer platform called Android. But it's not all been about Steve Jobs this year.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
