Abstract

Due to the heterogenous power-saving requirement in wireless sensor networks, we propose the Cyclic Quorum System Pair (CQS-Pair) which can guarantee that two asynchronous nodes adopt different cyclic quorum systems can hear each other at least once in bounded time intervals. To quickly assemble a CQS-Pair, we present a fast construction scheme, which is based on the Multiplier Theorem and the \((N,k,M,\emph{l})\)-difference pair defined by us. We show that via the CQS-Pair, two heterogenous nodes can achieve different power saving ratios while maintaining connectivity. The performance of a CQS-Pair is analyzed in terms of average delay and quorum ratio.
