Abstract:

Consensus problems are investigated for a type of the distributed varying scale wireless sensor network (VSWSN), where the scale of the network is increasing or decreasing due to the new nodes joining in or the invalid nodes quitting from WSN, respectively. In order to demonstrate the communicating behaviors more realistic, we offer the node attached component sequence for each valid node under the general sleep algorithm. Based on the component sequences, several concepts, such as the local limited intersection connection (LLI connection) and the global limited intersection connection (GLI connection), are provided to display the connectivity of the varying topology. Under certain conditions, the designed protocol ensures that all sensors arrive at the component consensus or the global consensus if the communicating graph is LLI connected or GLI connected, respectively. By the basic theoretical analysis, several consensus criterions are obtained. In the meanwhile, the consensus regions are investigated. The numerical example shows the reliability of the proposed results.
