Abstract

The method of using in-network aggregation for energy efficient data collection often results in processing delay and additional time for gathering related data at an intermediate node. This unfortunately may make the scheme undesirable for networks deployed for emergent event monitoring. In this paper, we propose ReCoDa -- Reliable forwarding of Correlated Data with low latency, an energy-efficient and reliable delivery scheme benefiting from data correlation among sensor nodes but without performing in-network aggregation. Our idea is to allow each node to determine the data transmission reliability it shall obtain based on the preceding transmissions from other nodes, subjecting to the overall information reliability requirement. This in turn is achieved through controllable multi-path forwarding. Simulation shows that ReCoDa can successfully reduce redundancy up to 2.9 times compared with schemes not exploiting data redundancy and achieves energy efficiency up to 4.79 times higher.
