Multidimensional WSNs are deployed in complex environments to sense and collect data relating to multiple attributes (multi-dimensional data). Such networks present unique challenges to data dissemination, data storage and in-network query processing (information discovery). Recent algorithms proposed for such WSNs are aimed at achieving better energy efficiency and minimizing latency. This creates a partitioned network area due to the overuse of certain nodes in areas which are on the shortest or closest or path to the base station or data aggregation points which results in hotspots nodes. In this paper, we propose a time-based multi-dimensional, multi-resolution storage approach for range queries that balances the energy consumption by balancing the traffic load as uniformly as possible. Thus ensuring a maximum network lifetime. We present simulation results to show that the proposed approach to information discovery offers significant improvements on information discovery latency compared with current approaches. In addition, the results prove that the Quality of Service (QoS) improvements reduces hotspots thus resulting in significant network-wide energy saving and an increased network lifetime.
