| Abstract [eng] |
Wireless sensor networks are increasingly used in many areas. These types of networks are made up of many sensors, which can communicate information between each other. Because of the limited energy resources that these sensors have, their operation must be optimised before deploying these systems at a large scale. In this thesis, a game theoretic model for the optimisation of energy efficiency is proposed. Principles of cooperative and non-cooperative game theory are used to model the communication between wireless nodes. We present a credit based algorithm for cooperation between nodes in the system. The goal of this thesis is to create a wireless sensor network model, and to optimize energy efficiency of the network, using game theory. |
