Description: TOPIC: RELIABILITY OF SINGLE PATH ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A

ABSTRACT:
Reliability of routing protocols plays a crucial role in providing assurance of the delivery of sensed data in wireless sensors networks. In this project, we model and compare the reliability performance of different single path end-to-end routing protocols for wireless sensors networks containing energy harvesting sensor nodes or battery powered sensor nodes. Reliability of wireless links is modeled considering effects of different parameters including battery lifetime, shadowing and location uncertainty. Based on the sensor node and wireless link reliability models, performance of different single path routing algorithms including shortest-distance path, shortest-hop path, maximum-reliability path, and combinations of them are evaluated and compared for wireless sensor networks, which are generated by random deployment of sensor nodes followed by structure optimization. Besides the end-to-end path reliability, other performance metrics including number of hops and cost are also considered.
