Adaptive Data Dissemination in Sensor Networks Using WPDD
2007
2007 Frontiers in the Convergence of Bioscience and Information Technologies
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), address-based routing approaches often lead to severe problems due to node mobility, energy-saving sleep-cycles, and often missing or unreliable address information. ...
Depending on the scenario, sensor nodes are mobile, i.e. the topology of the ad hoc network changes rapidly over the time, and one can observe varying frequencies of data transmissions, i.e. most of the ...
