Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) 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. However, due to the strict resource constraints of the sensor nodes, WSNs pose critical challenges for network protocol design for reliable communications with delay constraints. Biologically inspired modeling techniques have received considerable attention for their robustness, scalability, and adaptability with simple local interactions and limited information. In this paper, we apply gene regulatory networks (GRNs) principles to the WSN system and propose a new GRN model for decentralized node coordination to achieve energy saving while meeting delay requirements. Using control theory, we provide conditions of system parameters to ensure system convergence and stability. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme achieves superior performance with energy savings as well as desirable delay guarantees compared with other well-known schemes.
