MCSP: a new algorithm for scheduling in Wireless Sensor Networks

The most important challenges before the Wireless Sensor Network are limited energy level in the network and provide an appropriate method for network lifetime improving is very important. One of these methods is Scheduling technique. In this paper a protocol called MCSP has been presented for scheduling in WSN. This protocol is based on Minority Game and Cellular Learning Automata. The purpose of offer of this protocol is management of energy consumption in order to increase the network lifetime. Simulation results show that this method has appropriate efficiency in management of energy consumption and increases WSN lifetime than similar methods.
