Abstract:
One of the major challenges in deploying large scale sensor networks is the ability of the sensors to weave dynamically and autonomously into a sensing plan. In this paper we present a novel algorithm with certain characteristics. It is applicable for thousands of sensors and uses a tree based organization to present an aggregation method that aggregates discrete events into compound ones. It presents a set of security levels to ensure that events are transmitted to the control center (sink) and also presents backup layers to ensure maximal connectivity. Furthermore, it is applicable for sensors with no GPS. The algorithm was successfully tested using the dedicated simulator on a terrain containing 10,000 sensors. Our results show that the sensors perform the process of weaving into a sensing plan, the task of identifying multiple intruders, reporting the events to the sink in a short time and comply with the other demands.
