Abstract A network of sensors and surveillance devices creates a critical infrastructure in smart cities, enabling civic authorities to render faster and more efficient services. Notably, many deployed sensor applications form linear topologies, such as road monitoring sensors (e.g., intelligent lighting, road traffic, pedestrians, etc.), railway track sensors, and pipeline sensors (e.g., sensing leaks, pressure, etc.). These linear sensors convey data to a central control station by daisy-chaining through neighbor sensors. However, it causes critical energy inefficiency and imbalance issues and creates data transmission delay, which provokes complex application and service management hassles. In this paper, we propose an Energy-Efficient Linear Sensor Architecture (ELSA) for building sensor network infrastructure of Smart Cities. We design and develop an energy-efficient Wake-up Receiving (WuRx) method on sensor nodes by using a dual-channel, an infrared (IR) based WuRx channel over a WiFi data channel to enhance the duty cycle efficiency. In addition, we build a pipelined relay algorithm to avoid any network delay performance degradation. Furthermore, we design a centrality-based algorithm to identify linear sensor networks. The experimental results show that IR WuRx ELSA performed nearly ten times better energy efficiency per node and achieved a constant network delay regardless of the number of relaying nodes in a network.
