DAPR: A Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Utilizing an Application-Based Routing Cost

Overview As wireless sensor networks continue to attract more attention, new ideas for applications are continually being developed, many of which involve consistent coverage of a given surveillance area. Recently, several protocols and architectures have been proposed to maintain network connectivity and adequate coverage quality while minimizing the drain on the scarce energy resources of the sensor nodes. This paper proposes Distributed Activation based Predetermined Routes (DAPR), an integrated protocol for routing and coverage preservation that is distinctly different from the previously proposed solutions.

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. Here, the benefits to the enterprise are often talked of in terms of wider coverage...

Radioactive: Taipei gets meshed up

For fixed networks to have any-to-any connectivity they need a direct connection with multiple other nodes on a network. Although Wi-Fi doesn't need a direct line of site connection, objects do interfere, which is particularly important if the...

Mobile broadband: Too energy inefficient?

Stuart Carlaw, ABI's director of wireless research, said: "From a pure coverage perspective WiMax is twice as energy-cost-effective and metro wi-fi is 50 times more energy-cost-effective than WCDMA [a 3G network protocol].

New mobile masts to be drastically reduced

The ongoing deployment of mobile base stations - or, as they are more commonly referred to, masts - has already become an uncertain issue, as several operators have recently drawn up network-sharing agreements to increase coverage and drive down...

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.
