Abstract:


Recent advances in wireless sensor networks have led to many new protocols specifically designed for sensor networks where energy awareness is an essential consideration. Both self-organization and routing protocols significantly impact the energy consumption and therefore the network life time. This paper surveys recent self-organization and routing protocols for sensor networks and proposes enhanced approaches for low duty cycle and more reliable environment. We compare some of the relays-based protocols in a random graph model. Simulation results will show the impact of a graph splitting approach on the active node set and the topology connectivity. Moreover, we analyze the performance of that approach in terms of transmitted and received packet rate.
