Aggregation delay is the minimum number of time slots required to aggregate data along the edges of a data gathering tree (DG tree) spanning all the nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN).We propose a benchmarking algorithm to determine the minimum possible aggregation delay for DG trees in a WSN.We assume the availability of a sufficient number of unique CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) codes for the intermediate nodes to simultaneously aggregate data from their child nodes if the latter are ready with the data.

An intermediate node has 9x11 pergola to still schedule non-overlapping time slots to sequentially aggregate data from its own child nodes (one time slot per child node).We show that the minimum aggregation delay for a DG tree depends on the underlying design choices (bottleneck node-weight based or bottleneck link-weight based) behind its metabo 15-gauge finish nailer cordless construction.We observe the bottleneck node-weight based DG trees incur a smaller diameter and a larger number of child nodes per intermediate node; whereas, the bottleneck link-weight based DG trees incur a larger diameter and a much lower number of child nodes per intermediate node.

As a result, we observe a complex diameter-aggregation delay tradeoff for data gathering trees in WSNs.
