Resource-Aware and Link Quality Based Routing Metric for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

摘要: This paper presents a resource-aware and link quality based (RLQ) routing metric to address energy limitations, variations, node heterogeneities in wireless sensor actor networks (WSANs). The RLQ is combined cost metric, which on both efficiency statistics. primary objective of the proposed adapt varying channel conditions, while exploiting heterogeneous capabilities WSANs. Different from most existing simulation studies, this research effort guided by extensive field experiments dynamics at various locations over long period time using recent platforms, realistically addresses real-world communication challenges Performance evaluations, via test-bed experiments, show that achieves high performance terms packet reception rate, network throughput lifetime.
