Figure 8.5: Comparison of
α
-RMSC and MSC.
There is a trade-off between the higher lifetime value and the high reliability
of the whole system.
α
-RMSC has a fast convergetime, thus it is scalable to large sensor networks.
8.6 Conclusion
WSNs are battery powered, therefore prolonging the network lifetime through a
power-aware node organization is highly desirable. Poor communication ...
