A localized multi-sink multi-hop algorithm for wireless sensor networking

摘要

This paper presents a novel wireless sensor networking and operation algorithm for multi-sink environments. The proposed scheme, which allows low energy consumption, consists of three stages: the first one performs network formation and maintenance through distributed self-organization strategy a under a policy of power consumption reduction. The second one builds the trees from the sink nodes using a load balance strategy based on local information. The third stage collects sensory data through the trees.
