A principal issue for wireless sensor networks is energy efficiency, which is necessary for prolonging applications to track continuous object, such as wild fire and poison gas. Selective wakeup approach is an effective way to save energy in such networks. However, most previous studies on selective wakeup schemes have concentrated on individual objects, such as intruders and tanks, and they cannot...
For WSNs, many data dissemination protocols have been proposed for mobile sink groups, in which sinks are spatially apart each other in their close proximity and move together according to group mobility. Most previous works cannot be directly applied to mobile sink groups due to the control overhead caused by the individual mobility in the group. M-geocasting protocol considers both of data dissemination...
Real-time data delivery is the most important requirement for mission-critical applications in wireless sensor networks. Since a mobile sink is requested for applications and for energy efficiency in WSNs, an Expect Area-based Real-time Routing protocol (EAR2) is proposed to support real-time routing to the mobile sink. EAR2 is based on an Expect Area (EA) of the mobile sink and exploit flooding of...
In wireless sensor networks, there have recently been studies on mobile sinks groups such as groups of soldiers on battlefields, which are characterized by geographically collective movement. Although the existing protocols for individual mobile sinks can support the mobile sinks groups, they suffer from high congestion and control overhead due to location updates by each sink in the groups. To solve...
Recently, group mobility support of mobile sinks has received increasing interest, and several mechanisms have been proposed. The mechanisms typically follow a strategy that simply adopts flooding. The strategy detects the currently located region of a mobile sink group in flooding, registers the current region to a source, and performs data flooding in the region to disseminate data to the sink group...
Geocasting has been known as the appropriate scheme for providing effective data dissemination from a source to all nodes in a geographically restricted region. However, since the geocasting typically assumes the restricted region is stationary, it is hard to directly adopt the traditional geocasting in order to offer effective data delivery to mobile sink groups that have geographically collective...
In wireless sensor networks, geographic routing requires source nodes to be aware of the location information of sinks to send their data. Since sensor nodes have limited resources, providing the sink location service through low overhead is an important challenging issue. To address this issue, in this letter, we propose a simple sink location service scheme based on circle and line paths. In the...
Typical information communication for large-scale wireless sensor networks may be performed in a data-centric routing manner. The data-centric routing manner well matches the publish/subscribe communication paradigm operated by a contention-based networking. The publish/subscribe paradigm provides decoupling properties for data-centric networking: space, time, and synchronization decoupling. For large-scale...
Geographic routing has been considered as an efficient, simple, and scalable routing protocol for wireless sensor networks since it exploits pure local location information instead of global topology information to route data packets. Geographic routing requires the sources nodes to be aware of the location of sinks. Most existing geographic routing protocols merely assume that source nodes are aware...
Many researches in wireless sensor networks have been exploited a geographic routing to effectively disseminate data between sinks and sources. However, the geographic routing needs that the sinks and the sources are aware of location information of each other. To know the location information, there have been proposed two manners. The first manner is a sink-initiated location information flooding...
