Network Lifetime Aware Anchor Selection for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks

In IEEE International Conference on Humanitarian Technology (HTC)

This paper presents a **lifetime-aware anchor selection** approach for energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks, where anchor choices are adapted to harvested energy and communication constraints to improve long-term data collection reliability and overall network sustainability.

Abstract

This work studies anchor selection in energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks, focusing on lifetime-aware data collection under constrained energy conditions. The research examines how harvesting-aware selection strategies can improve network longevity while maintaining practical communication performance.

This publication grew out of my undergraduate thesis on energy-efficient routing and anchor selection in wireless sensor networks, where I studied trade-offs between energy consumption, harvested energy, and network lifetime.
