Network-Calculus-Based Analysis of Power Management in Video Sensor Networks Yanchuan Cao, Yuan Xue, and Yi Cui Department of EECS, Vanderbilt University Nashiville, TN 37235 {yann.cao, yuan.xue, yi.cui }@ Abstract—This paper considers two important issues for video For example, in a simple video sensor network where two sensor networks: (1) timely delivery of captured video stream and video sensor nodes A and B can both directly connect to the (2) energy-efficient network design. Based on network calculus, it data sink C. The achievable bandwidth of the shared wireless presents a unified analytical framework that is able to quantita- tively weigh the tradeoff between these two factors. In particular, medium is 1Mbps. Different solutions can be examined to it derives the service curve, buffer and delay bound under explore the tradeoff between packet delay and power consump- single-hop and multi-hop scenarios for video sensor networks tion. Enforcing power awareness in scheduling management, under power management. To the best of our knowledge, this A and B alternatively transmit. When A is sleeping, B takes is the first work that extends the network calculus theory to the entire 1Mbps bandwidth, and vice versa. Depending on the the domain of wireless network with the consideration of power management and wireless interference. Our analysis has been time quantum that A and B switch, large time quantum will validated through experiments conducted on a video sensor reduce the switching overhead and save power accordingly at network testbed.
