Geographic Routing Using Logical Levels in Wireless Sensor Networks for Sensor Mobility

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper we propose an improvement to the GRPW algorithm for wireless sensor networks called GRPW-M , which collects data in a wireless sensor network (WSN) using a mobile nodes. Performance of GRPW algorithm algorithm depends heavily on the immobile sensor nodes . This prediction can be hard to do. For that reason, we propose a modified algorithm that is able to adapt to the current situation in the network in which the sensor node considered mobile. The goal of the proposed algorithm is to decrease the reconstruction cost and increase the data delivery ratio. In comparing the GRPW-M protocol with GRPW protocol in simulation, this paper demonstrates that adjustment process executed by GRPW-M does in fact decrease the reconstruction cost and increase the data delivery ratio . Simulations were performed on GRPW as well as on the proposed Routing algorithm. The efficiency factors that were evaluated was total number of transmissions in the network and total delivery rate. And in general the proposed Routing algorithm may perform reasonable well for a large number network setups.
