Energy efficient data aggregation in sensor network using multiple sink data node

Data collection is an important task in any network. Data collection and aggregation becomes highly challenging in a wide area network with numerous nodes like sensor nodes, data nodes, and communication nodes are present. Data aggregation from these distributed nodes is an energy consuming task as sensor nodes mainly work on consumable power. Major task of any network engineer lies in performing an energy efficient data aggregation, so that he preserves the non renewable energy supply of the sensor. In the research carried out in this paper energy efficient data aggregation approach is proposed. Two network specific algorithms are devised one can cluster the network efficiently and the other performs the aggregation from the sensor node to data node. Data node is the specialized proposed node made available in the network which can be later connected to any centralized storage like cloud.
