An energy-efficient data gathering method based on compressive sensing for pervasive sensor networks

摘要

AbstractThis paper proposes an energy-efficient data gathering method called CN-MSTP (Combining Minimum Spanning Tree with Interest Nodes) for pervasive wireless sensor networks, basing on Compressive sensing (CS) and data aggregation. The proposed CN-MSTP protocol selects different nodes at random as projection nodes, and sets each projection node as a root to construct a minimum spanning tree by combining with interest nodes. Projection node aggregates sensor reading from sensor nodes using compressive sensing. We extend our method by letting the sink node participate in the process of building a minimum tree and introduce eCN-MSTP. We compare our methods with the other methods. Simulation results indicate that our two methods outperform the other methods in overall energy consumption saving and load balance and hence prolong the lifetime of the network.]]>
