Hybrid contention-based geographie routing in wireless sensor networks
Thanh Le Dinh, Dai Tho Nguyen, Hò Thuân · 2011
Beaconless and contention-based geographic routing is an attractive approach to resource-constrained wireless sensor networks. Aggressive contention is the most cost-efficient form of contention-based geographic routing since it uses no control packet. Nevertheless, to avoid duplicated data packets, aggressive contention must set restriction on the contention area. Consequently, its packet delivery rate is limited. On the other hand, non-aggressive contention maximizes packet delivery rate by making use of full contention area. As the compensation, control packets have to be used and additional delay is introduced.
