An efficient N-to-1 multipath routing protocol in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Abstract-A typical task in a wireless sensor network is that every sensor node senses its local environment and, upon request, sends the data of interest back to a base station. Based on this many-to-one communication pattern, we first propose a distributed N-to-1 multipath discovery protocol which distinguishes from other multipath routing protocols in that it is able to find multiple node-disjoint paths from every sensor node to the base station simultaneously in one route discovery process. Then we propose a hybrid multipath data collection scheme which combines end-to-end multipath traffic dispersion and per-hop alternate path salvaging. Our simulation results show that the proposed N-to-1 multipath discovery protocol is highly efficient and the hybrid data collection scheme based on it provides a seamlessly more reliable and more secure data collection service in wireless sensor networks.

Performance Analysis of Flow-Based Traffic Splitting Strategy on Cluster-Mesh Sensor Networks

“…The results show that the proposed scheme results in a higher energy efficiency. In [20], authors proposed an N-to-1 multipath routing protocol, in which nodes are arranged in a spanning tree. Multipaths are constructed by traversing the tree.…”

Interference-aware multipath routing protocol for QoS improvement in event-driven wireless sensor networks

“…Similar to MCMP, this protocol also improves data transmission reliability through introducing some data redundancy into the data transmission process. N-to-1 multipath routing [18] considers reliability as the primary demand of its intended application. The route construction phase utilizes spanning tree formation to find the shortest paths to the sink.…”

A research on synchronization algorithm and highly reliable routine protocol of industrial wireless sensor network

“…Non-leaf nodes renew the delay according to this. If DUCF is not equal to1 or renewing d is not necessary, synchronization can be achieved only by equation (2) and equation (3). DUCF increases as the network requirement for synchronization precision declines, precision requirement is most strict when DUCF is 1, and it is also the highest precision that PBTS can provide.…”
