A Unified Approach to Routing in Hybrid Sensor Networks

Tags:
switching

Overview In a hybrid sensor network, wires act as short cuts to bring down the average hop count of the network. Single sink multiple source nature is utilized for realizing short cuts as bridges in hybrid sensor network. Since constructing short cut is not always feasible, this paper presents a practical approach through multi-hop communication for actualizing short cuts as bridges. Evaluating a basic form of bridge construction procedure, it characterizes different trade-offs and identify critical requirements like sink placement. Wireless sensor network benefits from a unifying abstraction and protocols may transcend different layers. Based on this factor, a Unified Routing Protocol (URP) is developed which operates jointly with bridges.

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?
