Figure 9 Comparison of sleep ratio<br />

As mentioned above, the sleep ratio is an important<br />

parameter to describe the situation of sav<strong>in</strong>g energy<br />

dur<strong>in</strong>g the operation. When meet<strong>in</strong>g the coverage<br />

requirement, the higher the sleep ratio, the better the<br />

energy can be saved. Figure 9 shows that the sleep ratios<br />

of ECBS are always higher than that of LDAS algorithm<br />

and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> stability <strong>in</strong> the whole runn<strong>in</strong>g time.<br />

Moreover with different coverage requirement, the sleep<br />

ratios of LDAS are also much different. The higher the<br />

network coverage requires the lower sleep ratio. But the<br />

sleep ratios of our algorithm have a little change.<br />

Figure10 shows the average residual energy of network<br />

dur<strong>in</strong>g operation. It confirms that the residual energy of<br />

ECBS is always higher than that of LDAS on the same<br />

round.<br />

Sleep ratio can only demonstrate the total condition of<br />

energy consumed, but not measure the balance of energy<br />

consumed. In this paper, the average residual energy and<br />

the energy variance function are used to measure that the<br />

energy consumed is balanced or not at some time [25].<br />

Consider<strong>in</strong>g the two values, the larger the average<br />

residual energy and the smaller the energy variance, the<br />

better balance of the energy consumed <strong>in</strong> the network.<br />

The average residual energy function is:<br />

runn<strong>in</strong>g round<br />

From Figure 10 and Figure 11, it can be seen that the<br />

ECBS algorithm has a better balance of energy consumed.<br />

By LDAS algorithm, the m E (t) decreased more rapidly<br />

and the D E (t) were larger. The experiment data shows that<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g LDAS algorithm some nodes still rema<strong>in</strong>ed more<br />

than 90% energy even when the network died. But us<strong>in</strong>g<br />

ECBS algorithm, the maximal ratio of the residual energy<br />

to the <strong>in</strong>itial energy was about 40% when the network<br />

died. It also <strong>in</strong>dicates that LDAS algorithm exits the<br />

problem that energy consumes uneven. Thus it will lead<br />

to some nodes run out their energy earlier. And then<br />

energy hole are formed so as to make the network dy<strong>in</strong>g<br />

prematurely. Ideally each node <strong>in</strong> a network runn<strong>in</strong>g out<br />

its energy at the same time will obta<strong>in</strong> the optimal energy<br />

efficiency.<br />
