Research on lifetime prediction-based recharging scheme in rechargeable WSNs

In order to reduce the cost and energy consumption in wireless sensor network's charging process, this paper proposes a Recharging Scheme based on Lifetime Prediction (RSLP) for wireless rechargeable sensor networks. First of all, based on the historical quantity of electricity variation sequence of the sensor nodes, the lifetime prediction scheme of the sensor nodes is established; and then, considering the sensor nodes need to be recharged and the Sink nodes chosen by the mobile charger (MC) according to the charging value to establish an undirected complete diagram. A Hamilton charging circuit is established by using the Gene-Expressive cuckoo algorithm to solve the charging problem of the rechargeable sensor networks. The simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithm can improve charging efficiency and reduce the mobile energy consumption.
