METHOD FOR USE IN PROVIDING AN ADAPTABLE SENSOR NODES SCHEDULE IN A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for use in managing at least two sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network comprising the step of scheduling the active and sleeping time for the sensor node based on the type of traffic at said sensor nodes; characterized in that, the scheduling the active and sleeping time step further comprising the steps of determining the type of traffic threshold as low (LA) active or high active (HA) determining the status of nodes based on the traffic threshold, reducing the active time of at least one of the nodes from normal active to low active when traffic is low and increasing the active time of at least one of the nodes from normal active to high active when traffic is high. The node is maintained at Normal active time if the traffic is determined as normal.
