Network Layer Approaches for (m, k)-Firm Stream in Wireless Sensor Networks
Ki‐Il Kim, Tae-Eung Sung · IEICE Transactions on Communications · 2010
In this letter, we propose a revised geographic routing protocol and a scheduling algorithm to support real-time applications, which are often observed in wireless sensor networks. In order to meet real-time requirement, a specific application is modeled as an (m, k)-firm stream that has a property of weakly hard real-time system. In addition, both a priority-based scheduling and a geographic forwarding scheme based on delay, distance, and remaining slack time are newly proposed. Simulations and their analysis are followed to validate the suitability of reduced dynamic failure probability and extended network lifetime.
