Inner cluster Data Aggregation for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract — Wireless Sensor Networks has wide varity of applications. In this paper we compare different protocols to check the energy-efficiency of the sensor network. We propose an inner-cluster data aggregation scheme, where in a cluster only selected nodes will transmit the data to the cluster head for further data processing. This reduces the energy wasted by many nodes in transmitting the redundent data to base station. It also reduces the energy and time involved in reducing the redundent data
