Timely and energy efficient data delivery is important in wireless sensor network applications. To reduce the probability of wireless sensor network disconnection from user a lower energy consumption gateway must be used, but data delivery speed should be maintained as high as possible. So our purpose is to compare and analyze common approach of building gateway for wireless sensor network appl...
