The chapter focuses on minimizing the amount of wireless transmission in sensory data gathering for correlated data field monitoring in wireless sensor networks (WSN), which is a major source of power consumption. Compressive sensing (CS) is a new in-node compression technique that is economically used for data gathering in an energy-constrained WSN. Among existing CS-based routing, cluster-based methods offer the most transmission-efficient architecture. Most CS-based clustering methods randomly choose nodes to form clusters, neglecting the topology structure. A novel base station (BS)-assisted cluster, spatially correlated cluster using compressive sensing (SCC_CS), is proposed to reduce number of transmissions in and form the cluster by exploiting spatial correlation based on geographical proximity. The proposed BS-assisted clustering scheme follows hexagonal deployment strategy. In SCC_CS, cluster heads are solely involved in data gathering and transmitting CS measurements to BS, saving intra-cluster communication cost, and thus, network life increases as proved by simulation.
