ABSTRACT

Wireless sensor networks, while bringing convenience to people, also facing the enormous challenges of energy issues. Each sensor node battery is limited by the size, the battery storage energy is limited and the battery is not easy to replace, so optimizing the system energy allocation is an important method to extend the life of the wireless sensor network. This paper proposes an optimal energy allocation algorithm for binary data sensing wireless sensor networks from the perspective of information rate distortion. By redesigning the optimization problem and weighting the observation accuracy, a heuristic energy allocation algorithm based on brute force search is proposed to obtain the most the energy distribution ratio was optimized, and compared with the uniform energy allocation algorithm and the heuristic energy allocation algorithm, and then the application scenarios and deficiencies of the method were discussed.
