A Data Collection Algorithm Using Energy Maps in Sensor Networks
Abdelmorhit El Rhazi, Samuel Pierre · 2007
The main challenge when deploying sensor networks pertains to optimizing the energy consumption for data collection from sensor nodes. This paper proposes a new data collection mechanism based on a distributed clustering method. It uses sensor network energy maps and applies QoS requirements in order to reduce energy consumption. Simulation results show that this new data collection algorithm consumes less energy than the TAG algorithm.
