Effect of Source Selection, Deployment Pattern, and Data Forwarding Technique on the Lifetime of Data Aggregating Multi-sink Wireless Sensor Network

Data aggregation has been used as a prominent technique for lifetime enhancement of wireless sensor networks (WSN) for quite some time. Data aggregation reduces total number of transmissions in a WSN. Since transmitting energy is the most prominent component of energy consumption in a WSN, data aggregation reduces energy expenditure of the network and thereby enhances network lifetime. The nature of aggregation, however, may vary from one application to another. Along with this, the way source nodes are selected for transmission has an effect on the energy depletion and lifetime of the nodes. In this paper, we have studied the effect of certain non-electrical factors such as source selection, deployment pattern, packet size, and data forwarding technique on the performance of aggregation of a multi-sink WSN with varying degrees of aggregation.
