Wireless sensor and control networks are attractive for many embedded system applications mainly because they don't need wired connections for communication or energy supply. Therefore, energy efficiency is an elementary requirement of devices and concerns not only the hardware and communication protocols, but also the device applications. Adaptive sampling approaches promise to reduce the energy consumption of applications by adapting sampling and message transmissions. Selecting appropriate approaches and parameters is challenging as it strongly influences their performance. Therefore, this paper compares several adaptive sampling approaches in different realistic closed control loop scenarios from building automation, to develop a guideline for approach selection and parameterization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
