Abstract: A linear network is a type of wireless sensor network in which sparse nodes are deployed along a virtual line; for example, on streetlights or columns of a bridge, tunnel, and pipelines. The typical deployment of Linear Wireless Sensor Net-work (LWSN) creates an energy hole around the sink node since nodes near the sink nodes deplete their energy faster than others. Optimal network topology is one of the key factors that can help improve LWSN performance and lifetime. Finding optimal topology becomes tough in large network where total possible combinations is very high. We propose an Optimal Topology Generation (OpToGen) framework based on genetic algorithm for LWSN. Network deployment tools can use OpToGen to configure and deploy LWSNs. Through a discrete event simulator, we demonstrate that the use of genetic algorithm accomplishes fast convergence to optimal topologies as well as less computational overhead as compared to brute force search for optimal topology. We have evaluated OpToGen on the number of generations it took to achieve the best topology for various sized LWSNs. The trade-off between energy consumption and different network sizes is also reported.

Keywords: Ad hoc networks; network topology; genetic al-gorithms; computer simulation; computer networks management; network lifetime estimation; optimization
