X Abstract

This paper proposes few ways of improving a WSN’s energy efficiency that already uses an energy efficient data routing protocol for continuous monitoring application. The proposed improvements are (i) data nego- tiation, (ii) development of data change expectancy, and (iii) data van- ishing. In data negotiation, an active sensor sends its sensed data only when the data changes. In expectancy development, a sensor develops the expectancy of when its sensed data might change. It then adjusts its sensing frequency accordingly to avoid unnecessary sensing. In data van- ishing, duplicate sensed data from multiple sensors are discarded while routed to the BS. Together, the proposed improvements can be viewed as an emulated cache where latest sensed data are always known without requiring the sensors to sense and report continuously. Our simulation results also show significant WSN lifetime increase from this emulated caching.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
