Description
Summary:Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is composed of a large number of tiny sensors. These energy-constrained sensors are deployed in a variety of environments to collect data such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Therefore, how to suppress the impact of environmental noise on the collection accuracy and extend the lifetime of WSNs is one of the prominent issues. This article proposes an optimized dictionary updating learning-based compressed data collection algorithm (ODUL-CDC) to suppress the impact of environmental noise on the accuracy of WSNs data collection and extend the life cycle of WSNs. The proposed algorithm uses the dictionary learning method to obtain a sparse dictionary by learning from the training data. The collection error caused by environmental noise is positively correlated with the degree of self-coherence of the sparse dictionary. Therefore, the self-coherence penalty term is introduced during the dictionary updating process, which can reduce the over-fitting of the training data in the dictionary learning process. Moreover, the self-coherence penalty term endows the learned sparse dictionary with a low-self-coherence structure. Experimental and simulation results show that, as compared with discrete cosine transform(DCT), K-SVD and IDL learning-based data collection methods, the proposed algorithm exhibits the highest increase in recovery accuracy of 3.2% in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range of 30-50 dB, the sampling ratio range of 25%-40% and the sparsity range from 3 to 30. Furthermore, the energy consumption is significantly less than that of the compared methods, which helps improve the network lifetime.
