D3: Data-Centric Data Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper presents a novel method to disseminate sensor data in a wireless sensor network, called D3 (Data-centric Data Dissemination). The method combines the advantages of data-centric routing like SPIN and directed diffusion and energy-efficient MAC protocols such as S-MAC and T-MAC. The protocol's strengths are its energy-efficiency and its simplicity. Messages are transmitted using broadcasting only, reaching as many nodes as possible with the least energy. Furthermore, D3 easily accommodates energy-dependent traffic balancing and data aggregation, crucial to prolong the lifetime of a sensor network.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

For non-real time applications such as email and delayed voice and video we can use packet switching where the digital information is broken up into small packets and directed one at a time, across the planet, using any available routing at the...

IP over everything?

All of which leaves enterprises in line for more service choice, as multiservice nodes go live, and in a longer-term IP future, more flexibility and lower prices. In practice, the former involves finding a method of utilising traditional SDH...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
