Abstract

Several monitoring oriented applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are characterized by the necessity of two data-reporting modes: Time-driven and event-driven. The former is used mainly for constantly supervising an area and the latter for event detection and target tracking. By switching between both modes a WSN can improve its energy-efficiency and accuracy of measurement processes, compared to single data-reporting schemes. This type of switching mechanism we called multimodal switching mechanism. This paper presents an implementation and evaluation of two multimodal switching mechanisms: Enhanced hybrid node scheduling (eHNS) and Enhanced hybrid data gathering (eHDG), in ContikiOS-Cooja. The experimental results showed that by adopting a duty-cycling technique, such as ContikiMAC, the energy savings of the whole WSN is further improved.
