Adaptive Sampling Mechanisms in Sensor Networks
A Djafari Marbini, L. Sacks · 2003
More and more sensor networks are being suggested as alternatives to single sensor packages as a means of measuring and recording environmental variations. The rate at which the sensors make readings from the environment is both important in terms of presenting an accurate picture of environmental changes to the users and resource usage in the network. This paper is looking at means of making an adaptive control mechanism to change the frequency of measurements by each node, as an alternative to non-adaptive fixed sampling rates.
