Abstract.
A novel strategy is proposed to manage the sleep of the nodes in the network so that energy can be conserved and network connectivity can be kept. The novelty of the strategy is its extreme simplicity. The existing Gossip Based Sleep Protocol (GSP) is extended to achieve network reliability through piggybacking. Piggybacking is a convenient and effective approach and has been successfully applied to several areas of the networking. In the proposed work, we will develop a sleep management protocol and network reliability for wireless sensor networks.Then the protocol will be extended to the synchronous network, where nodes manage their own mode (sleep or awake mode) independently..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
