Distributed Search of Various Backbones in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
In this paper, we are interested in enhancing lifetime of wireless sensor networks trying to collect data from all the nodes to a "sink"-node for non-safety critical applications. Connected Dominating Sets are used as a basis for routing messages to the sink. We present a simple distributed algorithm, which computes several CDS trying to distribute the consumption of energy over all the nodes of the network. The simulations show a significant improvement of the lifetime of the network.
