Abstract

Processing multiple real-time queries on a multi-hop wireless sensor network while conserving energy is a challenging issue. A naive approach would simply disseminate each query individually, even if the queries contain overlapping information. This imposes excessive energy consumption on sensor nodes in the data paths. We propose a routing-aware query optimization method to conserve energy on these nodes. In particular, we devise an algorithm to reduce query redundancy based on location information, attributes, and time constraints contained in the queries and the routing information of the underlying network. Our simulation results show that our approach can significantly reduce energy consumptions and improve the overall performance of the network.
