A critical aspect of applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is network lifetime. Power-constrained WSNs are usable as long as they can communicate sensed data to a processing node. Poor communication links and hazard environment make the WSNs unreliable. The existing schemes only consider t...
