Self-organization of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) involves well-regulated linkages and movements independent of fixed communication infrastructures

which is studied in a specific application.After qualitatively analyzing the self-organization characteristics of WSN

we propose self-organization estimate methods including self-organization degree and energy consumption per unit of self-organization degree

through which the self-organization evolving mechanism is quantitatively analyzed in a typical application.Simulations show that WSN in the specific application has a self-organization process of gestation

growing

maturing

withering and death

and the self-organization energy-consuming relies on specific deployment patterns and radio models.
