Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles: Research on Synchronous Low Power Listening for Collection Tree Protocol in WSN

Data collection is the fundamental and important function in wireless sensor networks. Due to the restriction of node power, how to improve the nodei¯s energy efficiency and prolong the network lifetime is an important issue in practical network deployment. In this paper, we propose the RS-LPL ¨C Relative Synchronized Low-Power Listening which uses the relative time synchronization to improve the traditional low power listening scheme, and realize the RS-LPL in Collection Tree Protocol to enhance the network energy efficiency and prolong the network lifetime. The experiment results in a network consisted of Telosb mote shows that RS-LPL is more energy efficiency than traditional low power listening.
