A Simple Data Compression Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

TLDR
This paper proposes a simple lossless data compression algorithm that uses multiple Huffman coding tables to compress WSNs data adaptively and demonstrates the merits of the algorithm in comparison with recently proposed LEC algorithm using various real-world sensor datasets.
Abstract
The energy consumption of each wireless sensor node is one of critical issues that require careful management in order to maximize the lifetime of the sensor network since the node is battery powered. The main energy consumer in each node is the communication module that requires energy to transmit and receive data over the air. Data compression is one of possible techniques that can reduce the amount of data exchanged between wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, we proposed a simple lossless data compression algorithm that uses multiple Huffman coding tables to compress WSNs data adaptively. We demonstrate the merits of our proposed algorithm in comparison with recently proposed LEC algorithm using various real-world sensor datasets.

An Efficient Approach for Representing and Sending Data in Wireless Sensor Networks

TL;DR: The proposed approach is based on only transmitting the difference between the current sensed reading value and the previous reading value that is represented by the least number of bits instead of the new reading value itself, which reduces the energy consumption of sensor nodes and prolongs the sensor network lifetime.
