The problem of data gathering and aggregation in WSNs has been extensively inves-
tigated in the literature. Moreover, a tree-based topology to periodically aggregate
collected data in WSNs is widely adopted because of its simplicity. However, most
of existing works concentrated on the aggregation scheduling problem in determin-
istic WSNs, which is very different from our research problem. To be specific, we
focus on constructing an LBDAT to perform data aggregation in probabilistic WSNs
in this chapter. Therefore, in this section, we review the most related works. Based
on the different user ...
