Optimized Routing for Sensor Networks using Wireless Broadcast Advantage
Author:
Abstract: Routing in wireless sensor network is a challenging task. Barring a few applications, these networks would coexist with other wired and wireless networks. The proactive protocols do not fair well as the topology changes continuously due to the mobility of the nodes. Most of the reactive routing protocols have request reply pattern to establish a path and involves only sensors. These protocols deplete energy by control packets and have high latency. In this paper I propose a scheme which will eliminate the need for control packets by exploiting the wireless broadcast advantage. Also the proposed model is highly energy efficient when it coexists with other networks.
