We propose a new approach for modeling wireless sensor networks based on the theory of cellular automata. Each sensor node is described by a cell, and the cell dynamics is governed by the transition rules or operators. It is shown that the corresponding transition function can be represented as a superposition of two functions, local and nonlocal....

... restrictions were imposed to simulate different special configurations of the network without moving the nodes physically from the base station. For example, the sets defined in Table 2 are equivalent to physical positions of the nodes depicted in Figure 4a. The base station is allowed to receive the messages sent by all the nodes which allows to trace the intermediate messages in multi-hop transmission, and conclude about the structure organized in the Consider the network dynamics on example of a message sequence registered by the base station and given in Table 3, where each line is a single message. ...

... the analysis of a long enough sequence of messages one may conclude what structure is formed in the network. The observed structure is plotted in Figure 4b. This structure involves all the network and guarantees data delivery from the whole area which satisfies the function of the network and corresponds to the results of the simulations. ...
