Bettering the reliability through gossiping in Wireless Sensor Networks
P. Subramanian, E. Logashanmugam · 2013
Wireless Sensor Network consists of several sensor nodes which continuously monitor or sensing its environmental or physical condition and agreeably sends the sensing information to the Base Station or Sink. WSNs are application-specific, where the design requirements of WSNs change according to the application. Hence, routing protocol requirements are changed from one application to another. As WSN is mainly used to send the critical messages, many protocols have been proposed to increase network lifetime. In our project we propose a new protocol called Reliable Location based Gossiping (RLGossiping) to address the problems of Gossiping and its extensions. RLGossiping consists of three phases: Initialization, Information Gathering and Routing. We show how our approach increases the network energy and as a result maximizes the network life time. Saving the nodes energy leads to an increase in the node life in the network.
