Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of Data Compression which is critical in wireless sensor networks. We proposed a novel Topology-based Data Compression (TDC) algorithm for wireless sensor networks. We utilize the topological structure of routing tree to reduce the transmission of message packets. We analyzed the differences and relations between our algorithm and other compression algorithms. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed TDC approach by using two kinds of data sets: real data set and synthetic data set. The results show that the TDC algorithm substantially outperforms Non-compression algorithm in terms of packets transmitted.
