The contributions of the RMER approach are as follows. 1) Fewer monitor nodes are selected in hotspot areas that are close to the Sink, and more monitor nodes are selected in nonhotspot areas, which can lead to increased network lifetime and event detection reliability. 2) The RMER approach sends data to the Sink by converging multipath routes of event monitoring nodes into a one-path route to aggregate data. Thus, energy consumption can be greatly reduced, thereby enabling further increased network lifetime. Both theoretical and experimental simulation results show that RMER applied to event detection outperforms other solutions. Our results clearly indicate that RMER increases energy efficiency by 51% and network lifetime by 23% over other solutions while guaranteeing event detection reliability.}, pages = {511--519}, title = {RMER: Reliable and Energy-Efficient Data Collection for Large-Scale Wireless Sensor Networks}, volume = {3}, year = {2016}, yomi = {トウ, メンユウ and オオタ, カオル} }
