Specifically, to increase the network lifetime, it is a critical issue to make efficient use of battery power. Since data transmission almost spends the most part of the energy at sensors, designing energy efficient data transmission schemes is clearly one of the most important issues. The transmission modes in WSNs usually can be classified into three categories, e.g., transmissions within the sensor nodes, trans- missions from the sink node to the sensor nodes and transmissions from the sensor nodes to the sink(s). In this thesis, we will investigate the design of these three kinds of data trans- missions with efficient energy consumption. Particularly, we identify three problems as our research targets: 1) design of routing algorithm to collaborate sensors so as to complete queries with service composition, 2) design of network coding based data dissemination from the sink to all the sensor nodes in the network so as to decrease the total number of transmissions, 3) design of a novel geographic K-ancast routing protocol to route the data from sensors to any K
