摘要：Battery life is a drawback of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) but careful management of the network canprovide optimum performance before batteries need replacing. This paper models and analyses theproductivity and energy consumption of a 2-level balanced WSN. By optimizing the energy versus timecurve first with respect to quiescent periods we obtain a curve of rest length as a function of the number oflevel two nodes and then by secondly optimizing this curve with respect to the number of remote nodes perlevel one sensor node, an overall optimum network management strategy is achieved. Programs werewritten to display the productivity and longevity curves and determine the optimum point if it exists.
