Abstract
Some application of the sensor networks such as crop management must control the temperature within a proper range. The energy-efficient applications and protocols for them are needed. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient application protocol which can meet these needs. We use the concept of safety zone to manage the appropriate range of properties within our algorithm. We name our proposed algorithm "MSZ". To assess the performance of the proposed algorithm the actual temperature data was collected using the sensor node. The algorithm was implemented through programming and compared with the other algorithms. Experimental results show that the MSZ algorithm has a much better performance than that of APTEEN in terms of energy efficiency as well as has the ability of determining the status of sensor nodes with the periodical transmitting. Our MSZ algorithm can be useful in applications developments for the management of crops, fermented food and etc.
