Abstract
In this work, we present a method that exploits a scenario with inter-Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) information exchange by making predictions and adapting the workload of a WSN according to their outcomes. We show the feasibility of an approach that intelligently utilizes information produced by other WSNs that may or not belong to the same administrative domain. To illustrate how the predictions using data from external WSNs can be utilized, a specific use-case is considered, where the operation of a WSN measuring relative humidity is optimized using the data obtained from a WSN measuring temperature. Based on a dedicated performance score, the simulation results show that this new approach can find the optimal operating point associated to the trade-off between energy consumption and quality of measurements. Moreover, we outline the additional challenges that need to be overcome, and draw conclusions to guide the future work in this field.
