Data Dissemination And Collection Algorithms For Collaborative Sensor Networks Using Dynamic Cluster Heads

We develop novel data dissemination and collection algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in which we consider $n$ sensor nodes distributed randomly in a certain field to measure a physical phenomena. Such sensors have limited energy, shortage coverage range, bandwidth and memory constraints. We desire to disseminate nodes' data throughout the network such that a base station will be able to collect the sensed data by querying a small number of nodes. We propose two data dissemination and collection algorithms (DCA's) to solve this problem. Data dissemination is achieved through dynamical selection of some nodes. The selected nodes will be changed after a time slot $t$ and may be repeated after a period $T$.
