Abstract

In this paper, we propose a distributed power-efficient data gathering and aggregation algorithm (DPEG), in which a node, according to its residual energy and the strength of signal received from its neighboring nodes, independently makes its decision to compete for becoming a cluster head. In addition, assume that the inter-cluster communication data is, in a multi-hop manner, sent to the designated node, which then sends the data gathered by the whole network to the base station. DPEG also proposes a simple approach to solve the cluster coverage problem. With the increase in node density, this approach lets sensor network lifetime be linear in the number of nodes. Our experimental results have proved that DPEG algorithm, in the best case, lets sensor network lifetime be respectively increased by 1800% and 300% as compared with another two data gathering and aggregation protocols— LEACH and PEGASIS.
