摘要：Data gathering is one of the most important operations in many wireless sensor networks (WSNs) applications. In order to implement data gathering, a tree structure rooted at the sink is usually defined. In most wireless sensor networks, nodes are powered by batteries with limited energy. Prolonging network lifetime is a critical issue for WSNs. As a technique for signal processing, compressed sensing (CS) is being increasingly applied to wireless sensor networks for saving energy. Compressive sensing can reduce the number of data transmissions and balance the traffic load throughout networks. In this paper, we investigate data gathering in wireless sensor networks using CS and aim at constructing a maximum-lifetime data-gathering tree. The lifetime of the network is defined as the number of data-gathering rounds until the first node depletes its energy. Based on the hybrid-CS data-gathering model, we first construct an arbitrary data-gathering tree and then use the random switching decision and optimal parent node selecting strategy to adjust the load of the bottleneck node and prolong the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms several existing approaches in terms of network lifetime.
