WCDS-DCR is a fully distributed, data-centric, routing technique that makes use of an underlying clustering structure induced by the construction of WCDS (Weakly Connected Dominating Set) to prolong network  ...  Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of battery-constrained sensors often deployed in harsh environments with little to no human control, thereby necessitating scalable and energy-efficient techniques  ...  In this paper, we develop an energy-efficient, data-centric, routing scheme for hierarchical WSNs.  ...
