Performance of Data Reduction Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) using Different Real-Time Datasets: Analysis Study

Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of data reduction methods in the performance of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) using a variety of real-time datasets. The simulation tests are carried out in MATLAB for several methods of reducing the quantity of sent data. These approaches are Data Reduction based - Neural Network Fitting (NNF), Neural Network Time Series (NNTS), Linear Regression with Multiple Variables (LRMV), Data Reduction based – “An Efficient Data Collection and Dissemination (EDCD2)” and Data Reduction based – Fast Independent Component Analysis (FICA). The selected algorithms NNF, NNST, EDCD2, LRMV, and FICA are evaluated using real-time datasets. The performance indicators included are energy consumption, data accuracy, and data reduction percentage. The research results show that the selected algorithm helps to reduce the amount of data transferred and consumed energy, but each algorithm performs differently depending on the dataset used.
