To achieve this goal without continuous reporting, data suppression is a key strategy. The basic idea behind data suppression schemes is to send data to the base station only when the nodes’ readings are different from what both the nodes and the base station expect. Data suppression schemes can be sensitive to aberrant readings, since these outlying observations mean a change in the expected behavior for the data. Transmitting these erroneous readings is a waste of energy. In this article, we present a temporal suppression scheme that is robust to aberrant readings. We use a technique to dete
