Flow Routing for Variable Bit Rate Source Nodes in Energy-Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper considers a two-tier wireless sensor network and focus on the flow routing problem for the upper tier Aggregation and Forwarding Nodes (AFNs). Assuming each AFN is equipped with directional antenna for transmission, it is interested in how to perform flow routing at each node such that the network lifetime is maximized. This paper presents a flow routing algorithm that is provably to have the following property when the average source rate of each AFN is known a priori; the flow routing algorithm is optimal and gives maximum network lifetime performance.

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?
