Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks are used in many different applications due to their favorableproperties, such as low cost, low power consumption and ease in deployment. One sucharea where they have gained popularity is data collection. Here, there are many readingsbeing collected by sensor nodes that need to be aggregated for further processing. Severalalgorithms exist for decentralized monitoring of aggregates, but the two that stand outamongst the rest are tree-based protocols and gossip-based protocols. In this thesis, wecompare the performance of the Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) to two different gossipalgorithms: pairwise randomized gossip and broadcast gossip. Performance is measuredin terms of the total number of messages transmitted because this corresponds to theamount of power consumed for aggregation. CTP is a routing protocol that is used inreal WSN deployments and is implemented in the TinyOS operating system. One of themain questions of interest in this ...
