The design of data collection methods in wireless sensor networks based on formal concept analysis

Abstract

Data collection is one of the main research topics of wireless sensor networks in recent years, and, data collection research outside users through wireless sensor networks to collect perception data from the monitoring area. Formal concept analysis is a data analysis tool, especially for investigation and treatment can be given information to discover important information hidden in the data behind. This paper proposes the data collection methods in Wireless Sensor Networks based on formal concept analysis. Experiments show that the proposed FCA-based data collection algorithm in WSN more effective than the traditional algorithm. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
