Abstract
A method for saving energy for a wireless sensor network is provided, comprising: introducing a high energy device; defining a sensor node within a coverage of the high energy device as a source node or a forwarding node by the high energy device based on a routing relationship; sending sensed data to the high energy device by the source node at any time; and selecting a forwarding node at a working time to forward the data by the high energy device while making the other forwarding nodes at a dormancy time.
