Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed many of sensor nodes which are a
infrastructure-less wireless networks to monitor physical or environmental conditions in
order to cooperatively forward their sensing data through the sensor network to a main
location or sink. These wireless sensor nodes are very small in size, have limited
processing capability and very low battery power. This restriction of low battery power
makes the sensor network prone to failure. Thus, data aggregation is one of very crucial
technique in wireless sensor networks to avoid down fail of the network. As a trend, in
recent years, researchers have been adopting the spatio-temporal correlation in the wireless
sensor environment. This spatio-temporal correlation is utilized strong characteristics, such
as extract spatial features, data is collected across both in space and time, describes a
phenomenon in a certain location and time that facilitate the visualization of sensor data
distributed on the wireless sensor environment.
In this paper, by adopting Spatio-temporal correlation strong characteristics, we
propose an energy efficient data aggregation scheme using Spatio-temporal correlation
which applies on wireless sensor network to improve the energy efficiency. The feasible
aggregation scheme is given for obtaining sensor information of nodes on the environment
based on the local density of the node relative to the neighbor node. The hierarchical
distribution of nodes makes the sensor information to be aggregated by parent nodes to
reduce the energy consumption on the wireless sensor network.
From the experimental results, the performance investigation of the system is
executed using Network Simulator two (NS2) simulation tool. Finally, we can find our
aggregation scheme still has a good performance as compared with the original LEACH
and HEED algorithms. The simulation result displays that our system to improves the node
lifetime, the energy consumption, throughput and aggregate delay. Therefore, the
performance metrics shows that our scheme is feasible and effective.
