    Abstract

    We propose to improve the quality of data for data fusion in a wireless sensor network deployed in an urban environment by dynamically controlling the transmission rate of the sensors. When nodes are grouped in multi-hop clusters, this mechanism will increase the number of messages being received at the cluster heads. We implement a previously proposed cross-layer data adjustment algorithm and integrate it into our multi-modal dynamic clustering algorithm MDSTC. Extensive simulations in NS2 using a simpler two-hop cluster show that using the data rate algorithm allows for better efficiency within the cluster.
