Lower Bounds on Data Collection Time in Sensor Networks

We study the time complexity of data collection in sensor networks. A simple mathematical model for sensor networks regarded as lines, multi-lines and trees is defined and corresponding optimal schedules are provided. A lower bound of data collection time on general graph networks is also derived.
