DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn most of the Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSAN) applications, the locations for the actors are determined autonomously by the collaboration of actors and/or sensors in order to eliminate human intervention as much as possible. In this thesis, we propose an actor-CH location matching algorithm which will detect the CH locations and assign the actors to such locations in a distributed manner with the minimized travel distance. We adapt the Gale-Shapley (G-S) stable matching algorithm from Matching Theory in order to prevent conflicts and minimize the travel distance. We evaluated the performance of our approach through simulation and have shown that our approach can produce results very close to the brute force approach.
