A power-aware framework for distributed data fusion application in wireless sensor networks

In this paper, PAFusion, a power-aware framework for distributed data fusion applications in wireless sensor networks is proposed. It is designed for mapping distributed data fusion application into networks. We have evaluated the performances of PAFusion compared to DFuse and optimal solution through simulation. The simulation results show PAFusion has better performances than DFuse and PAFusion has much less overhead and causes only slightly more transmission cost than optimal solution.
