Event-based formalism for data management in a wireless sensor network

摘要

A wireless sensor network comprises a plurality of nodes that communicate over wireless communication links. At least one of the plurality of nodes receives sensor data from a sensor. At least one of the plurality of nodes determines when a discrete event occurs. When the discrete event occurs, transmits data related to the discrete event over at least one of the wireless communication links. The discrete event is a function of the sensor data.
