Gureen Game: An energy-efficient QoS control scheme for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Quality of Service (QoS) control is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we propose a new QoS control algorithm, referred to as Gureen Game, for wireless sensor networks. Gureen Game not only improves the Gur Game for QoS control but also significantly addresses the power consumption weakness of the original Gur Game based QoS control for senor networks. We study the logic behaviors of the proposed Gureen Game, and evaluate its QoS performance compared with the original Gur Game and a recent control algorithm called Shuffle for energy-efficient QoS control. Our simulation results demonstrate the merits of the proposed Gureen Game.
