Inner-Cluster Data Aggregation Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
Jiang Hong Guo, Yu Dong Luo, De Li Chen · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
For reducing the communication overhead of data aggregation, authors proposed an inner-cluster data aggre-gation scheme for wireless sensor networks. Agent nodes are selected with assist of location information and only the nodes have different readings with agent nodes transmit their data to cluster head, thus reduce the inner-cluster transmissions. Analysis and experiments show that our scheme reduces inner-cluster transmissions effectively and lowers the communication overhead.
