یک شبکه بی سیم هوشمند برای کنترل صنعتی

In this paper, we describe a distributed clustering technique for wireless sensor node tracking in an industrial environment. The research builds on extant work on wireless sensor node clustering by reporting on: (1) the development of a novel distributed management approach for tracking mobile nodes in an industrial wireless sensor network; and (2) an objective assessment of the cluster management approach both in terms of its tracking performance and its use of network resources. To support this work, we introduce two classes of metrics: a set of three tracking performance metrics, and a set of three network efficiency metrics. The results of our experiments show that the proposed distributed system adapts readily to changes in the sensing environment, but this higher level of adaptability is at the cost of overall efficiency.
