A Cooperative Broadcasting Method for a Sensor Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensor networks and ad-hoc networks, which do not require a base station such as an access point, have a hidden node problem because nodes communicating at the same time cannot know each other's communication status. On other hand, in a wireless infrastructure network the access point manages the communication with the node using RTS (request to send) and CTS (clear to send). However, we cannot use the RTS/CTS method in broadcasting because the number of target nodes is not one but more than two. In this paper, we propose a broadcasting method based on RTS/CTS to avoid this problem. In this method the sender node selects the target node, and they communicate with each other. Neighboring nodes can listen to these packets. Then the sender node can broadcast its information to multiple nodes. We use the wireless nodes specified by IEEE 802.15.4 which is the physical layer's specification. Our experimental results show effective transmissions.

An Efficient Routing Algorithm to Lifetime Expansion in Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. The mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. The mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor node...

متن کاملUnauthenticated event detection in wireless sensor networks using sensors co-coverage
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer inherent packet redundancy since each point within the network area is covered by more than one sensor node. This phenomenon, which is known as sensors co-coverage, is used in this paper to detect unauthenticated events. Unauthenticated event broadcasting in a WSN imposes network congestion, worsens the packet loss rate, and increases the network energy con...
