The predominate traffic patterns in a wireless sensor network are many-to-one and one-to-many communication. Hence, the performance of wireless sensor networks is characterized by ...
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the application of wireless sensor networks in unattended environments. Nodes in such applications are equipped with limited ener...
We show how the database community’s notion of a generic query interface for data aggregation can be applied to ad-hoc networks of sensor devices. As has been noted in the senso...

This paper exploits the tradeoff between data quality and energy consumption to extend the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. To obtain an aggregate form of sensor data with pre...
—Recharging the batteries of a moribund sensor deployed as part of a wireless sensor network is often infeasible due to logistical considerations. With the purpose of prolonging ...
