Multi-domain sensor networks • co-located sensor networks • sensors are compatible • sinks can be either separate or common
Non-cooperative game • assumption: paths to the sink exist in both own and common network • the game unfolds in discrete time steps t • lifetime of sensor networks: until the first sensor dies • finite routing game: ends when one subnetwork dies
Benefits of cooperation • operators as players • two decisions: • ask (or not) the other player to cooperate • cooperate (or not) if asked • reduce complexity: strategy is pre-defined in the sensors
where: is the gathered number of measurements is the requirement for success • pre-programmed strategy in the sensors • feedback in one bit from the sink (successful or not) Strategies • success of data gathering: if • moves: • strategy: • DD - don't ask/drop • DF - don't ask/forward • AD - ask/drop • AF - ask/forward
Utilities • gain, gi(t): if the step was successful, then gi(t) = Gi otherwise gi(t) = 0 • cost, ci(t): sum of the transmission cost of all sensors (cunit ~ dα) • payoff, • utility: where: T is the lifetime of the sensor network
Best strategies • Three types: • Cooperative: (AF, AF) • Defective: (DD, DD) • Other: for example (AF, DD)
Conclusion Cooperation is beneficial, because it can increase the lifetime of sensor networks. • For separate sinks, operators can use the sinks of each other • For common sinks, cooperation is beneficial: • if sensor networks are sparse – overhearing of packets is less significant • if path loss is high - transmission is expensive
