Abstract

We present an algorithm implementing the failure detector class omega (Ω) in the crash-recovery model to coordinate data aggregation in wireless sensor networks. The algorithm ensures the agreement on a common aggregator by all sensors of a region, as well as on a common super-aggregator among the set of aggregators of the network, hence providing a hierarchical energy-efficient data aggregation mechanism. We also introduce a battery depletion threshold to enhance the quality of service of the wireless sensor network
