A Generic Framework for Context-Aware Routing and its Imple- mentation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Bernd-Ludwig Wenning, Andreas Timm‐Giel, Carmelita Görg · 2009
As networks become more dynamic, the awareness of the network members ’ current context is of growing importance. This can be said especially for communication networks, but also for other types of networks, e.g. logistic networks. Context-aware routing takes this context information into account when selecting routes in such networks. This paper introduces a novel generic framework for context-aware routing, including the message flow as well as the route decision method. The framework is not limited to a single application domain, but it is a generalized approach that can be adapted and specialized for various application domains. As an example, a wireless sensor network scenario is presented where this routing framework is applied. 1
