Abstract

A wireless sensor network can be an effective tool for gathering data in a variety of environments. The data gathering process must be designed to conserve the limited resources of the sensors. In this paper, we propose an Efficient Data GathEring (EDGE) protocol which satisfies such requirement because it avoids both flooding and periodic updating of routing packets. The gathering tree created by EDGE will be reconstructed upon node failures or adding of new nodes. The simulation results compared to Directed Diffusion demonstrate that EDGE achieves much higher delivery ratio, lower delay, and shorter path length on various scenarios.
