1、《Gossip-Based Self-Management of a Recursive Area Hierarchy for Large Wireless SensorNets》

受到的启发：

节点间使用 local-only PL-Gossip （peratically gossip）机制，邻居间周期性发送一个gossip message包，每一个周期称为一个round

In essence, each node, in an endless process,
periodically broadcasts its local protocol state to its
neighbors (i.e., the nodes within its radio range). Likewise,
it periodically receives the state of every neighbor, which it
merges with its own local state. The merged state is
broadcast in the node’s messages in subsequent periods,
which allows for propagating information throughout the
network. This primitive operation pattern is sufficient for
nodes running PL-GOSSIP to self-organize into, and
collaboratively maintain such a complex distributed data
structure as a recursive area hierarchy.
