In this paper, we study the aggregation problem with power control under the physical interference. The maximum power is bounded. The goal is to assign power to nodes and schedule transmissions toward the sink without physical interferences such that the total number of time slots is minimized....

A sensor with two active phrases means that active mode has two phases, the full-active phase and the semi-active phase, which require different energy consumptions. A full-active sensor can sense data packets, transmit, receive, and relay the data packets. A semi-active sensor cannot sense data...
