Networks of microsensors can greatly improve environment monitoring for many civil and military applications. Multiple sensors provide fault tolerance and can provide valuable inferences about the physical world to the end user. In order to prolong the lifetimes of wireless sensors, all aspects of a sensor system should be energy efficient. To maximize battery lifetimes of distributed wireless sensors, network protocols and data fusion algorithms should be designed with low-power techniques. Network protocols minimize energy by using localized communication and control and by exploiting computation/communication tradeoffs. A sensor network system that uses a localized clustering protocol and beamforming data fusion was developed to enable energy-efficient collaboration.
