Pizza Forwarding: A Beaconless Routing Protocol Designed for Realistic Radio Assumptions
Résumé
Since the last ten years, wireless sensor networks attract considerable research interests. The limited energy of sensors, the embedded constraints and the communication re- strictions make WSN a very challenging system. Every protocols and applications should be energy efficient. Many efforts have been done to propose energy-efficient protocols in WSN through activity scheduling, sleeping mode in MAC protocols, energy- aware routing protocol, temporal and spatial data aggregation schemes at the application layer. However both control packets and beacons remain which induces a huge waste energy. Beacon- less geo-routing protocols are a piece of work to improve considerably the sensor lifetime but classical approaches do not work under realistic radio assumptions due to the planarization strategies. In this paper, we present a new beaconless routing protocol called Pizza-Forwarding without any assumption on the radio environment: neither the radio range nor symmetric radio links nor radio properties (shadowing, etc.) are assumed or restricted. A classical greedy mode is proposed. To overcome the hole problem, packets are forwarded to an optimal node in the two hop neighbor following a reactive and optimized neighborhood discovery. Simulation results are proposed to highlight the delivery ratio and the energy consumption.
