Latency Optimized Data Aggregation Timing Model for Wireless Sensor Networks

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the data aggregation schemes are extensively used to avoid the redundant transmission of correlated data from densely deployed sensor nodes. Even though, it enhances the network lifetime, it seriously suffers from the increased data delivery time. The high end-to-end delay experienced by the packets is not acceptable in the delay-constrained applications like seismic activity monitoring, military field monitoring, etc. In this work, we propose a novel data aggregation-timing model for node’s aggregation time out to reduce the data delivery time.
