In the event-driven sampling scheme known as level-crossing or send-on-delta, sensor data are transmitted to the estimator node if the difference between the current sensor value and the last transmitted one is greater than a given threshold. The event-driven sampling generally requires less transmission than the time-driven one. However, the transmission rate of the send-on-delta method becomes large when the sensor noise is large since sensor data variation becomes large due to the sensor noise. Motivated by this issue, we propose another event-driven sampling method called area-triggered in which sensor data are sent only when the integral of differences between the current sensor value and the last transmitted one is greater than a given threshold. Through theoretical analysis and simulation results, we show that in the certain
