Abstract

We present DRR-gossip, an energy-efficient and robust aggregate computation algorithm in sensor networks. We prove that the DRR-gossip algorithm requires O(n) messages and O(n3/2/log1/2 n) one-hop wireless transmissions to obtain aggregates on a random geometric graph. This reduces the energy consumption by at least a factor of 1/log n over the standard uniform gossip algorithm. Experiments validate the theoretical results and show that DRR-gossip needs much less transmissions than other gossip-based schemes.
