An efficient data-centric storage method using time parameter for sensor networks

Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, various schemes have been proposed to efficiently store and process sensed data. In this paper, we propose a new DCS based scheme, called Time-Parameterized Data-Centric Storage (TPDCS), that avoids the problems of storage hot-spots and query hotspots. To decentralize the skewed data and queries, the data regions are assigned by a time dimension as well as data dimensions in our proposed scheme. Therefore, TPDCS extends the lifetime of sensor networks.
