Abstract(in English) In wireless sensor networks, hundreds or thousands of microsensors are deployed in an uncontrolled way to monitor and gather information of environments. Sensor nodes have limited power, computational capacities, memory, and communication capability. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for gathering sensor information where information periodically propagate from the edge of a sensor network to a base station as the propagation draws a concentric circle, without any centralized control. Observing radio signals emitted by sensor nodes in its vicinit}', a sensor node independently determines the cycle and the timing that it emits sensor information in synchrony with others. For this purpose, we adopt a pulse-coupled oscillator model which comes from biological mutual synchronization such that in flashing fireflies, chirping crickets, and pacemaker cells. Through discussions based on some simulation experiments, we confirmed that our scheme can gather sensor information in a fully-distributed, self-organizing, robust, adaptable, scalable, and energy-efficient manner.
