Abstract :
Given the rigid energetic constraints under which a sensor network must operate, efficient means of power management are vital to the success of any sensor network deployment, particularly those in rapidly changing environments. Threshold-based algorithms provide a possible in-network method for adaptive distributed control of energy consumption.
