Wireless Software Defined Network (W-SDN) is the application of SDN technology in wireless network and has been widely used in sensor network, 5G communication network, et al. Since SDN needs to install flow entries at every hop to match each data packet, then it may bring heavy burden to the wireless nodes as the wireless node usually has much smaller memory space comparing with network devices in...
RPL (the IETF Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) and LRP (Lightweight Routing Protocol) have in common to build a collection tree (or, more precisely, a DODAG) and "downward" host routes in the wireless sensor network. Additionally, the objective of LRP is to keep control overhead as low as possible. To substantiate this claim, we compare RPL and LRP using 40 nodes of the...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have wide applications in environmental monitoring fields. Many algorithms were proposed for efficient information gathering. Especially the cluster based routing schemes are getting attention due to their energy efficiency. But in most of the clustering schemes, the base station (BS) which is used to gather the information is assumed to be located far from the field...
Link quality protocols employ link quality estimators to collect statistics on the wireless link either independently or cooperatively among the sensor nodes. Furthermore, link quality routing protocols for wireless sensor networks may modify an estimator to meet their needs. Link quality estimators are vulnerable against malicious attacks that can exploit them. A malicious node may share false information...
The trend towards smart factories necessitates protocols for wireless transmission of production process information. Protocols must transfer process information timely even with temporary wireless interference on the factory floor and regardless of machines' location in the network topology. TANDEM is a topology-independent wireless multi-hop network protocol that implements in-network prioritization...
The instability of wireless links makes the choice of forwarding nodes have too many possibilities in opportunistic routing. In this paper, the Markov decision process (MDP) is used to model the whole packet forwarding process from the source node to the destination node, which facilitates making reasonable decisions when the sender selects the forwarding nodes. By solving a finite-state MDP problem,...
