Abstract

A data aggregation routing protocol with minimum transmission cost spanning tree facing the problem of low-power routing was proposed, to lower energy consumption of wireless sensor networks. Data from sensor nodes was transmitted to the root node to sink node within the same sensor area. Data aggregation and transmission to the in-network sink along the shortest path is in accordance with principles of least energy consumption and energy equilibrium. Results showed that this protocol produced a transmitted data volume decreased by 50%-80% and a low propagation time delay.
