Abstract:

Energy of nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) was spent on delivering the packets mostly. In order to decrease the number of packets, but not increase the time delay simultaneously, a model of data dissemination based on confidence coefficient was presented. Confidence coefficient was generated by the node based on the data sensed, and represented the authenticity and importance of the data. A backoff algorithm and a transmission filter based on the confidence coefficient were designed also. Extensive simulations testified that the model was effective in decreasing energy consumption of the node and time delay of the important data.

Key words: wireless sensor networks, confidence coefficient, backoff algorithm, transmission filter
