Load Scheduling for Measurement and Data Reporting in Wireless Sensor Networks
Mequanint Moges, Thomas G. Robertazzi · 2004
This paper introduces an optimal load allocation approach for measurement and data reporting in wireless sensor networks. Using divisible load theory as a starting point, results in terms of minimum finish time (make-span) are obtained for di#erent measurement and reporting strategies. This work is novel as it introduces, for the first time, a new load scheduling strategy that considers the measurement capacity of processors and assumes negligible computation time which is radically di#erent from the traditional divisible load scheduling research to date. Performance results in terms of finish time (make-span) for homogeneous measurement and reporting speeds are also presented.
