Data aggregation scheduling in ubiquitous sensor networks is a major research interest for many researchers. Very little research is carried out to schedule the nodes in ubiquitous sensor networks for maximizing the throughput and utilize the hardware resources effectively. The traditional graph model does not model the interferences occurring from the concurrent transmissions in the Ubiquitous Sensor Networks. Hence in this paper we propose a new network model for the USN called a power control collision interference free model and a novel distributed data aggregation scheduling protocol which is adaptive to the rate and power. We tested the protocol in a USN consisting of 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 number of nodes with different topologies and varying degree 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, . . ., 40. We compared our results with the other protocols and proved that our proposed power control collision interference free model yields better results.
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.
