Layered Compression Scheme for Efficient Data Collection of Sensory Data

Abstract

Although the existing compressed sensing (CS) based spatio-temporal data compression schemes can significantly decrease communication consumption for data collection, they ignore the data correlation among different clusters over spatial dimension. Actually, the discovery and utilization of spatial correlation among different clusters can further increase the compression rate (or improve the recovery effect). In this paper, we propose a layered compression scheme for efficient data collection of sensory data (LCS-EDC). In the proposed scheme, first, we design a multi-layer network architecture to support the exploration of spatio-temporal correlations, especially for exploring the spatial correlation among different clusters. And then, we construct the specific projection methods respectively for exploring the temporal correlation in sensory nodes, spatial correlation (intra-cluster) in cluster heads and spatial correlation (inter-cluster) in processing nodes. Meanwhile, the detailed solving method is developed to recover original data and achieve the approximate data collection in sink node. Finally, simulation results indicate that the proposed layered compression scheme has better recovery performance as compared with traditional clustered compression schemes (i.e., achieving efficient data collection with high quality).
