Performance Analysis of Algorithms for Energy-Efficient Data Transfer in Wireless Sensor Networks

This research studies the classification and routing algorithms in wireless sensor networks. An energy-efficient data transfer algorithm is considered in the article. This algorithm can be adapted for the main types of routing. Based on the idempotency property of a decision tree, the algorithm uses numerical ranges of the predicates of the trained model to decide if data transfer is relevant. The block diagram and the program code of the algorithm are presented here. The energy efficiency of the algorithm was studied by the semi-natural model, which included 20 sensors and measured 4 environmental parameters. The results of the research showed that it is possible to reduce the number of communication sessions by 80% by using this algorithm.
