However, using traditional routing algorithms for data gathering is energy-inefficient for sensor nodes with limited power resources and multi-hop communication protocols. Data gathering with mobile sinks provided an effective solution to this problem. The major drawback of this approach is the time and path constraints of the mobile sink, which limit the mobile sink to collect data from all sensor nodes and, then, data routing is still required for these unreachable parts by the mobile sink. This paper presents a new data gathering algorithm called Connectivity-Based Data Collection (CBDC). The CBDC algorithm utilizes the connectivity between sensor nodes so as to determine the trajectory of the mobile sink whilst satisfying its path constraint and minimizing the number of multi-hop communications. The presented results show that CBDC, in comparison with the LEACH-C algorithm, prolongs the network life time at different connectivity levels of sensor networks, varying number of sensor nodes and at different path constraints of the mobile sink.","PeriodicalId":58712,"journal":{"name":"无线传感网络(英文)","volume":"6 1","pages":"118-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70901061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, in Event Driven Reporting (EDR), the efficient \u0000transmission of sensitive data related to some predefined alarm cases is of \u0000major importance. As such, reporting latency is a more important performance \u0000parameter. However, in some applications, the transmission of both CM and EDR \u0000data is encouraged or even required. For either CM or EDR applications, system \u0000performance can be greatly improved when both the number of packets to be \u0000transmitted as well as the packet size is reduced. This is especially true for \u0000highly dense sensor networks where many nodes detect the same values for the \u0000sensed phenomenon. Building on this, this paper focuses on studying and \u0000proposing compression techniques to improve the system performance in terms of \u0000energy consumption and reporting latency in both CM and EDR applications. \u0000Furthermore, we extend our analysis to hybrid networks where CM and EDR are \u0000required simultaneously. Specifically, this paper presents a simple aggregation \u0000technique named smart aggregation (SAG) for the CM applications and an event \u0000driven scheme named compression cluster scheme in spatial correlated region \u0000(CC_SCR). The proposed SAG exploits both spatial and temporal correlations \u0000where CC_SCR exploits the spatial correlation of such networks by data \u0000compression. Rationalizing the developments is attained by simulations that \u0000compare energy efficiency of the proposed SAG with k-hop aggregation and CM based event driven reporting (CMEDR) \u0000schemes. Results of CC_SCR show that the technique may reduce the energy \u0000consumption drastically. In some specific cases the reduction becomes more \u0000than 10 times compared to a classical clustering scheme. Two different strategies \u0000for the transmission of event reports through the CM infrastructure are \u0000incorporated: PER and NPER protocols. Both strategies take advantage of the \u0000cluster-based architecture which assigns a TDMA schedule for the CM data \u0000transmission while using NP/CSMA for the transmission of the event information. \u0000Consequently, no extra energy is consumed for separate event clusters. As such, \u0000the number of packets to be transmitted is greatly reduced.","PeriodicalId":58712,"journal":{"name":"无线传感网络(英文)","volume":"06 1","pages":"67-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70900589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
