1. The document proposes localized, self-organizing, and energy-efficient data aggregation tree approaches called Localized Power-Efficient Data Aggregation Protocols (L-PEDAPs) for sensor networks. 2. L-PEDAPs are based on topologies like LMST and RNG that can approximate a minimum spanning tree using only local neighbor information. The routing tree is constructed over these topologies. 3. Route maintenance procedures are included to handle node failures or additions while prioritizing remaining power levels to maximize network lifetime. Simulation results show L-PEDAPs perform nearly as well as centralized solutions for network lifetime.
