Abstract


This work proposes a data flow reduction algorithm based on the behavior of time series in the Complexity-Entropy plane for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The system dynamic variation is identified in real time th- rough a delimiter built into the plane, called the Maximum Complexity Cut-off Point. Thus, we can determine at which instants the sample interval must be updated in order to maximize the statistical complexity of the resulting data sample. This method was applied to a chaotic database and the obtained re- sults were compared with those of other sampling algorithms, presenting better performance in the statistical metrics evaluated.
