Abstract
In time critical event driven data gathering, anycasting technique is considered as one of the best methods that minimizes delay and maximizes lifetime. Moreover, asynchronous sleep/wake scheduling techniques like anycasting, is energy efficient compared to synchronous sleep/wake scheduling in rare event detection. However, asynchronous techniques incur additional delay during the event reporting as a result of the clock skew which may violate the delay constraint for a large number of packets. In this paper, we find the critical wake-up rate to constrain the increase in end-to-end delay, as a result of clock-skew, within given delay constraint \(\xi\), by estimating the expected increase in end-to-end delay using a stochastic approach. We verify our mathematical analysis using Monte-carlo simulation. Further simulation results in network simulator 2.34 (ns2) confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
