ABSTRACT:
A method for managing energy in a sensor network environment using a spanning tree includes the steps of collecting amount of remaining energy of nodes at a predetermined cycle by a base station in a region having a number of clusters a number of nodes forming a spanning tree in each cluster; assigning a number of links for connecting the nodes to each cluster; determining a maximum number of allowable links of the nodes; and updating the spanning tree based on the maximum number of allowable links.
