Entropy-driven data aggregation method for energy-efficient wireless sensor networks

Data aggregation is one of the essential and fundamental processes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). When and how to gather data from the sensors to the sink has a direct impact on the lifetime of the WSNs because the energy consumption is proportion to the frequency of data transmission. In general, sensors in a WSN are randomly distributed for creating a massive coverage WSN environment within a short period. Because the sensors nearby the...
