【 摘 要 】

Wireless (smart) sensor networks (WSNs), networks made up of embedded wireless smart sensors, are an important paradigm with a wide range of applications, including the internet of things (IoT), smart grids, smart production systems, smart buildings and many others. WSNs achieve better execution efficiency if their energy consumption can be better controlled, because their component sensors are either difficult or impossible to recharge, and have a finite battery life. In addition, transmission cost must be minimized, and signal transmission quantity must be maximized to improve WSN performance. Thus, a multi-objective involving energy consumption, cost and signal transmission quantity in WSNs needs to be studied. Energy consumption, cost and signal transmission quantity usually have uncertain characteristics, and can often be represented by fuzzy numbers. Therefore, this work suggests a fuzzy simplified swarm optimization algorithm (fSSO) to resolve the multi-objective optimization problem consisting of energy consumption, cost and signal transmission quantity of the transmission process in WSNs under uncertainty. Finally, an experiment of ten benchmarks from smaller to larger scale WSNs is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed fSSO algorithm.
