Abstract
Wireless sensor networks, a new generation of networks, are composed of a large numbers of nodes and the communication between nodes takes place wirelessly. The main purpose of these networks is collecting information about the environment surrounding the network sensors. The sensors collect and send the required information. There are many challenges and research areas concerned in the literature, one of which is power consumption in network nodes. Nodes in these networks have limited energy sources and generally consume more energy in long communication distances and therefore run out of battery very fast. This results in inefficacy in the whole system. One of the proposed solutions is data aggregation in wireless networks which leads to improved performance. Therefore, in this study an approach based on learning automata is proposed to achieve data aggregation which leads to dynamic network at any hypothetical region. This approach specifies a cluster head in the network and nodes send their data to the cluster head and the cluster head sends the information to the main receiver. Also each node can change its sensing rate using learning automata. Simulation results show that the proposed method increases the lifetime of the network and more nodes will be alive.
