Abstract

We consider a problem of lifetime optimization in Wireless Sensor Networks. The purpose of the system is to find a global activity schedule maximizing the lifetime of the Wireless Sensor Network while monitoring some area with a given measure of Quality of Service. The main idea of the proposed approach is to convert the problem of a global optimization into a problem of self-organization of a distributed multi-agent system, where agents take part in a game and search a solution in the form of a Nash equilibrium. We propose two game-theoretic models related to the problem of the lifetime optimization in Wireless Sensor Network and apply deterministic \(\epsilon \)-Learning Automata as players in the games. We present results of an experimental study showing the ability of reaching optimal solutions in the course of Learning Automata self-organization by local interactions in an iterated game.
