Data agglomeration in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

The nodes which can conjointly send anticipated data to base terminal is called sensor networks. The critical coercion is consumption of power for sensors. The sensors can transmit inapplicable power origins which are confined. When the sensors are dispersed in any circumstances it is quite possible that these are placed farther from the terminal and in actual the sensors are in actual are at some distant from each other. The sensors are operable through battery therefore it can utilize power systematically for tapering data traffic and thus boosting the life span of the network. The wireless sensor networks have these sensors which are used for gathering and agglomerating data competently. We have discussed few aspects of wireless sensors associated with data agglomeration. As the wireless sensors have networks which are used for various applications like observing habitation, administering calamity, military and security, etc, its limited operational functionality and limited battery made a bigger issue in today's scenario. Thus data agglomeration techniques are being used for discarding similar data in order for saving energy and battery. In this paper, we focused on various approaches which are useful in data agglomeration efficiently in WSN.
