Abstract
A method for grouping sensor nodes in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks has a sensor network management system. The method includes: receiving a group forming code from the sensor network management system at the respective sensor nodes, wherein the group forming code have sensor conditions and selecting group information from the group forming code in accordance with the conditions at the respective sensor nodes. The method further includes transmitting the selected group information IDs to the sink node.
Claims9
A method for grouping sensor nodes in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks having a sensor network management system and a sink node comprising:
- receiving a group forming code from the sensor network management system at the respective sensor nodes, wherein the group forming code have sensor conditions;
- selecting group information from the group forming code in accordance with the conditions at the respective sensor nodes;
- and
- transmitting the selected group information IDs to the sink node.
A method for transmitting a query code to sensor nodes grouped in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks having a sink node, the sink node is provided with positional shape information indicative of locations at which the respective belong in each group, the method comprising:
- searching a target sensor node to which the query code is transmitted based on the shape information when receiving the query code at the sink node;
- and
- transmitting the query code through a path of the positional shape information to the searched target sensor node.
