Abstract :
Energy efficiency is an elementary requirement for battery-operated wireless sensor networks. Fulfilling this requirement concerns not only the device hardware and communication protocols, but also the device applications. Adaptive sampling approaches allow reducing the number of messages and can therefore be very relevant for sensor networks. This paper evaluates this relevance for different adaptive sampling approaches in two realistic closed control loop scenarios from building automation.
