Decentralized Lifetime Maximizing Tree with Clustering for Data Delivery in Wireless Sensor Networks (1201.4943v1)

Abstract: A wireless sensor network has a wide application domain which is expanding everyday and they have been deployed pertaining to their application area. An application independent approach is yet to come to terms with the ongoing exploitation of the WSNs. In this paper we propose a decentralized lifetime maximizing tree for application independent data aggregation scheme using the clustering for data delivery in WSNs. The proposed tree will minimize the energy consumption which has been a resisting factor in the smooth working of WSNs as well as minimize the distance between the communicating nodes under the control of a sub-sink which further communicate and transfer data to the sink node.
