METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR CONFIGURING AND COLLECTING INFORMATION FROM SLEEPY DEVICES

摘要

Methods for deploying a new sensor in a sensor network having an existing sensor are provided. A method includes receiving information relating to the new sensor and obtaining deployment information relating to the existing sensor. The method further includes determining similarity information for the new sensor based on the received information relating to the new sensor and the obtained deployment information relating to the existing sensor; and based at least in part on the similarity information, determining a sleeping pattern for the new sensor. The new sensor is then configured in accordance with the determined sleeping pattern.
