Abstract
In a multi-hop wireless network, a conventional way of defining interference neighbors is to prohibit a node from using the same slot/code as those of its 1-hop and 2-hop neighbors. However, for data collection in a wireless sensor network, since the set of communication nodes is limited and the transmission directions are toward the sink, we show that a less strict set of interference neighbors can be defined. Based on this observation, we develop an efficient distributed wake-up scheduling scheme for data collection in a sensor network that achieves both energy conservation and low reporting latency. © 2009 IEEE.
