無線感測網路(wireless sensor network,WSN)是一個新興的技術,它可以遠距離地監測大範圍環境。資料中心儲存(data-centric storage)在無線感測網路中是一個有效且重要的技術。它根據偵測事件的的屬性值來將事件儲存在某些節點,為的是要避免將所有資料傳送到網路外部,以及查詢(query)時要flooding 整個網路。在一個事件中,許多屬性的值都是有範圍的。因此,感測節點(sensor node)在query時,也將使用範圍查詢(range query)。在本文章中,我們提出一個多維屬性(multi-dimensional attributes)的資料中心儲存方法。主要的概念是將多維的事件傳送到符合的範圍空間(range space),並且建立一個分散式資料結構,在查詢時,能有效的取得資料。實驗可以顯示出我們的方法能減少電量消耗。
A wireless sensor network is an emerging technology that enables remote monitoring of larger scale. Data-centric storage is an effective and important technique in the wireless sensor networks. It stores the sensing events according to their attributes values of events by mapping them to some nodes in order to avoid routing all the values outside the network and flooding the queries. There are many attributes with range value in an event, thus, the sensor will use the multi-dimensional range query to retrieval data. In this paper, we propose a data storage and range query method for multi-dimensional attributes in wireless sensor networks. The main idea is to map multi-dimensional events to their corresponding range spaces and to build an in-network distributed data structure for efficiently getting the data of multi-dimensional range queries. Simulations have shown that our proposed scheme can reduce energy consumption.
