Spatio-Temporal Power Adaptive (STPA) protocol for MCpSN

In our work, we consider a querying application of a Multihop Cell phone Sensor Networks (MCpSN). It requires data to be sensed within a time window and further uploaded at the Querying Access Point within a time deadline. Considering a Random Waypoint distribution of cell phone users, we propose a novel, energy-efficient Spatio-Temporal Power Adaptive (STPA) protocol for this application. STPA is compared to purely spatially/temporally adaptive schemes through simulations. ©2010 IEEE
