Davis et al.Self-Organization in Sensor Networks P. DAVIS, A. HASEGAWA, N. KADOWAKI, and S. OBANA ATR Adaptive Communications Research Laboratories, Hikaridai, Keihanna Science City, Kyoto, Japan We propose a method for managing the spontaneous organization of sensor activity in ad hoc wire- less sensor systems. The wireless sensors exchange messages to coordinate responses to requests for sensing data, and to control the fraction of sensors which are active. This method can be used to manage a variety of sensor activities. In particular, it can be used for reducing the power consump- tion by battery operated devices when only low resolution sensing is required, thus increasing their operation lifetimes.

Introduction Recent developments in microelectronics have made possible the development of small, low power wireless sensor devices with the ability to handle sophisticated communication protocols. There is a growing interest in applications of the devices in distributed sensor networks, for example, in environmental monitoring, surveillance systems, and in-build- ing control. However, these systems require the development of new control and manage- ment methods. Key issues distinguishing wireless sensor networks from conventional computer networks are the large numbers of devices, unreliable operating conditions, and severe constraints on operating resources, as well a
