Adaptive Sampling for Spatiotemporal Anomaly Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks
Guoqing Lu, Yixuan Sun, Yiwen Jiang, Bernard Butler
Long-term environmental monitoring in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) often uses sparse sampling to extend network lifetime, but sparse sensing can miss short-lived, localized, and potentially diffusive anomalies. This paper proposes a sentinel-assisted adaptive sampling framewor…
