A Routing Protocol for Congestion Control in RFID Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Stackelberg Game with Sleep Mechanism
Duanfeng Xia, Qi Lecky Li · 2013
RFID wireless sensor networks may produce a large number of data in some applications, congestion should be taken into account in some wireless sensor networks applications. A routing protocol based on Stackelberg game is proposed to reduce network congestion in this paper. It puts forward the network Stackelberg model and proves the existence of Nash equilibrium. The transmission rate is adjusted dynamically with Sleep mechanism. The experiments prove that the proposed protocol can increase the network throughput and balance the data transmission rate.
