Abstract

Solar sensor nodes, equipped with micro-solar subsystems [1], provide a new way to harvest ambient energy and also bring new challenges. This paper constructs an Energy Efficient Data Aggregation Tree (EDAT) based on a Maximal Weighted Connected Dominator Set (MaCDS). EDAT arms to prolong the network lifetime by minimizing the difference of energy consumption among solar nodes while we consider that harvested energy H randomly and uniformly distributes in the interval [Hmin, Hmax]. The total energy consumption difference of EDAT is at most 5H|S|2/n-1, where H = |[Hmin, Hmax]| and S is the dominator set.
