A framework for sensor stream reduction in wireless sensor networks.

Abstract

This work presents a general methodology to perform sensor stream reduction in wireless sensor networks. This methodology considers the application requirements, the reduction design, and the data reduce validation. Specifically, the reduction design, we present a architecture that can be applied to reduce the data when it is sensed or routed through to sink. The objective of this work is to show step-by-step how we can realize reduction applications in wireless sensor networks by using our methodology. The study cases show the usefulness of our methodology applied on a general sensing and a real time scenarios.
