respectively.
5.6 Conclusion and Future Work
In this chapter, we introduced a novel data-aggregation model for wire-
less sensor networks. The new model combined all tasks within the wire-
less sensor network into a STFG, and then we utilized two scheduling
algorithms (ASAP and ALAP) to determine the best workload on the base
stations.
We are following two tracks in future work. The first track is a theoreti-
cal one, which is to find out if our model of data aggregation can be scaled
up for a large wireless sensor network. The second track is a practical one,
which comprises of experimenting with many base stations with different
capacities.
