CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
The energy utilization of a network can be reduced by determining appropriate data aggregators from a given network. In this work, we proposed CDS-1HN, a method to determine CDS in a given network. CDS-1HN was compared with two existing algorithms. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm saves more energy compared to the existing algorithms by identifying the appropriate dominators. To avoid the network failure, it is needed to balance the load on each data aggregator. An efficient algorithm to balance the traffic load on dominators is proposed to be designed in the future.
