无线传感器网络（WSNs）的典型特征是传感器节点处的能量供应有限。因此，能量效率是无线传感器网络系统设计和运行中的一个重要问题。在本文中，我们介绍了一种新的通信模式，使能源效率的信息传递在无线传感器网络。与传统的通信策略相比，该方案探索了一个新的维度-时间，以有效地传递信息。我们把这种策略称为沉默沟通（CtS）。我们确定了一个关键的缺点CtS -能量-吞吐量权衡，并探讨优化机制，可以减轻权衡。然后，我们提出了几个需要克服的挑战，主要是在网络协议栈的介质访问控制层，以有效地实现CtS。
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and operation of WSNs. In this paper, we introduce a novel communication paradigm that enables energy-efficient information delivery in wireless sensor networks. Compared with traditional communication strategies, the proposed scheme explores a new dimension - time, to deliver information efficiently. We refer to the strategy as Communication through Silence (CtS). We identify a key drawback of CtS - energy - throughput trade-off, and explore optimization mechanisms that can alleviate the trade-off. We then present several challenges that need to be overcome, primarily at the medium access control layer of the network protocol stack, in order to realize CtS effectively.
