Construction of Disjoint Virtual Backbones for Wireless Sensor Networks
2020
A wireless sensor network is a wireless network of sensors aimed at monitoring physical events. It has ingratiated itself into almost all areas of human endeavors. Data dissemination in these networks is quite challenging and is generally accomplished by flooding. But flooding introduces broadcast storm problem due from implosion and overlap. To overcome this, topology management can prescribe a virtual backbone network to which routing is confined. In this paper we propose an algorithm that constructs multiple disjoint virtual backbone networks, using only nodes' locations. The disjointedness makes routing more robust and the network exploitation energy efficient. Simulations show our algo…
A reliable CSMA protocol for high performance broadcast communications in a WSN
2014
Wireless Sensor Networks have been identified as a promising technology to efficiently perform distributed monitoring, tracking and control tasks. In order to accomplish them, since fast decisions are generally required, high values of throughput must be obtained. Additionally, a high packet reception rate is important to avoid wasting energy due to unsuccessful transmissions. These communication requirements are more easily satisfied by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless medium, which allows several simultaneous receptions through a unique node transmission. We propose a Medium Access Control protocol that ensures, simultaneously, high values of throughput and a high packet re…
