Abstract

A Graph-based multi-hop cooperative MIMO transmission scheme (GM-MIMO) aimed at optimizing the network lifetime and saving energy for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSN) is proposed. In GM-MIMO, clusters are established based on geographical position. Graph theory is applied to find an optimal forwarding path. For taking the presence of node heterogeneity into consideration, GM-MIMO obtains maximum network lifetime. Simulation results show that GM-MIMO makes a significant performance improvement in terms of network lifetime and survival rate of nodes.
