ABSTRACT
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are commonly used for continuously monitoring applications. Data gathering and in-network processing are techniques to efficiently gather the information from sensor nodes. Usually, these techniques have been analysed taking into account a global knowledge of the system. In this paper we propose a novel distributed data gathering algorithm for wireless networks and we evaluate the effect of having a different number of cluster heads transmitting to the base station. We focus the attention on uniformly distributed nodes in a given area to evaluate the effects on the energy consumption

Active node determination for correlated data gathering in wireless sensor networks
In wireless sensor network applications where data gathered by different sensor nodes is correlated, not all sensor nodes need to be active for the wireless sensor network to be functional. Given that the sensor nodes that are selected as active form a ...
Balancing Energy Consumption to Maximize Network Lifetime in Data-Gathering Sensor Networks
Unbalanced energy consumption is an inherent problem in wireless sensor networks characterized by multihop routing and many-to-one traffic pattern, and this uneven energy dissipation can significantly reduce network lifetime. In this paper, we study the ...
