Data gathering is a fundamental task of WSN. It aims to collect sensor readings from sensory field at predefined sinks (without aggregating at intermediate nodes) for analysis and processing. Research has shown that sensors near a data sink deplete their battery power faster than those far apart due[r]

Green Architecture refers to the process of designing a building to have a reduced environmental impact either by reusing existing materials or using new materials in a lower impact way. It also focuses on reducing the ongoing energy consumption of the building.
