Data Management using Ring-based Index for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In wireless sensor network (WSNs) network management is the process of managing, monitoring, and controlling the behavior of a network.The limitation of wireless sensor networks is storage power and data processing. Communicationis the major source of energy consumption in WSN; various schemes have been proposed to reduce the internode transmissions. Strategies like data compression, in-network data processing better topology management, caching and indexing reduce the length of path traversed by data and or queries in the network. In this paper, we propose an index-based data scheme to address the problem.
