Real-time data aggregation is one of the most important issues in wireless sensor networks. Using directional antenna to transmit data can save energy and reduce interference. In this paper, we study the minimum latency data aggregation problem with the given two directional antenna models (the steering beam and the switch beam) under protocol interference model. We propose an approximation directional data aggregation algorithm to schedule data transmissions under two directional antenna models, respectively. At last, we evaluate the proposed schedule algorithms through simulations, and simulation results show that the proposed schedule's latency is close to the depth of BFS tree, which is the lower bound of schedule latency, and the proposed schedules achieve extremely good performance.
