TLDR
It is found that the SPIN protocols can deliver 60% more data for a given amount of energy than conventional approaches, and that, in terms of dissemination rate and energy usage, the SPlN protocols perform close to the theoretical optimum.
Abstract
In this paper, we present a family of adaptive protocols, called SPIN (Sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation), that efficiently disseminates information among sensors in an energy-constrained wireless sensor network. Nodes running a SPIN communication protocol name their data using high-level data descriptors, called meta-data. They use meta-data negotiations to eliminate the transmission of redundant data throughout the network. In addition, SPIN nodes can base their communication decisions both upon application-specific knowledge of the data and upon knowledge of the resources that are available to them. This allows the sensors to efficiently distribute data given a limited energy supply. We simulate and analyze the performance of two specific SPIN protocols, comparing them to other possible approaches and a theoretically optimal protocol. We find that the SPIN protocols can deliver 60% more data for a given amount of energy than conventional approaches. We also find that, in terms of dissemination rate and energy usage, the SPlN protocols perform close to the theoretical optimum.

An energy-efficient diagonal-based directed diffusion for wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a new energy-efficient directed diffusion protocol was proposed by using the proposed diagonal-based hexagonal-mesh scheme for a wireless sensor network, where the directed diffusion is mainly operated on the diagonal-paths of the hexagonal mesh under the energyefficient consideration.

CAPTURE: location-free contact-assisted power-efficient query resolution for sensor networks

TL;DR: This paper presents an architecture that is geared towards one-shot frequent queries in sensor networks, and introduces the novel notion of contacts that act as short cuts to reduce the degrees of separation between the request source and the target.

Achieving Robustness through Caching and Retransmissions in IEEE 802.15.4-based WSNs

TL;DR: A network-layer protocol for wireless sensor networks based on the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer that acts as a routing module and a control entity for the MAC layer and provides reliable communication, while managing power saving and synchronization among nodes.

Performance evaluation of different logical topologies and their respective protocols for wireless sensor networks

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have several constraints of the sensor nodes such as limited energy source, low memory size and low processing speed, which are the principal obstacles to design efficient protocols for WSNs. Major challenges of WSNs are to prolong the network lifetime and throughput. This paper explores performance of WSNs in different logical topologies. Logical topologies play very significant role in the overall performances of the network, such as network lifetime, throughput, , energy consumption and end-to-end delay. A number of logical topologies was proposed for WSNs, including flat topology, cluster-distributed topology, cluster-centralized topology and chain topology, along with their corresponding routing protocols. Simulation experiments were done by using NS-2.34 program for the logical topologies. The topologies were cluster–distributed, chain-based, cluster–centralized and flat with its corresponding protocols of LEACH, PEGASIS, LEACH-C and MTE respectively. MATLAB is used to plot the graphs. Performance metrics measured are the network lifetime, energy consumption and total amount of aggregate data received at the base station.

A cooperative Hide and Seek discovery over In Network Management

TL;DR: Hide and Seek (H&S), a new algorithm for network discovery, and information propagation and synchronization, is proposed and the results show that H&S spends fewer cycles to discover all INM entities and records lower messages overhead for information synchronization compared to non-controlled and probabilistic (gossip) flooding dissemination.

Highly dynamic Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector routing (DSDV) for mobile computers

TL;DR: The modifications address some of the previous objections to the use of Bellman-Ford, related to the poor looping properties of such algorithms in the face of broken links and the resulting time dependent nature of the interconnection topology describing the links between the Mobile hosts.

Multicast routing in datagram internetworks and extended LANs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms (distancevector routing and link-state routing) to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN, and discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks.
