The communicative behaviors in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) can be characterized by two different types: routing and broadcasting. The broadcasting is used for effective route discoveries and packet delivery. However, broadcasting shorten the network lifetime due to the energy overconsumption by redundant transmissions. In this paper, we proposed a algorithm that remove redundant forward nodes based on Dominant Pruning method using 2-hop neighbors knowledge. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm appears superior performance in respect of the number of forward nodes and the network lifetime.

This paper suggests a service model which uses a wireless sensor network in home network environment. The sensor network consists of fixed sensor nodes and user identification nodes which is attached to each user. With the input information of the user preference profile and the collected data from the sensor nodes, the database is constructed as a context information and analyzed by a home server to provide a service that establishes and controls automatically home appliances according to each user's preference. The proposed service model is implemented and tested on a Linux server with MySQL database and sensor nodes on TinyOS.
