Abstract: The wireless sensor networking (WSN) systems have been used for several applications from target tracking to environment monitoring. Recently, there has been increased interest in the design of WSN protocols for delay-sensitive applications, such as military surveillance, health monitoring, and infrastructure security. In this paper, we apply gene regulatory networks (GRN) principles to the WSN system and analyze a reaction-diffusion mechanisms for decentralized node scheduling design. Using control theory, we verify that the proposed scheme guarantees system stability. Also, we provide conditions of system parameters to ensure system convergence and stability. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme achieves superior performance with energy balancing as well as desirable delay compared with other well-known schemes.
