The document proposes a Neighbor-Aided Compressive Sensing (NACS) scheme for efficient data gathering in wireless sensor networks. NACS exploits both spatial and temporal correlations in sensor data to reduce data transmissions compared to existing compressive sensing models like Kronecker Compressive Sensing (KCS) and Structured Random Matrix (SRM). In NACS, each sensor node sends its raw sensor readings to a uniquely selected nearest neighbor node, which then applies compressive sensing measurements and sends the compressed data to the sink node. Simulation results show NACS achieves better data recovery performance using fewer transmissions than KCS and SRM, improving energy efficiency for data gathering in wireless sensor networks.
