Geographically Inspired Virtual Grid for Wireless Sensor Networks
Pratap Singh, T. P. Sharma, Ishwar Chand · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2012
Topology management is a critical issue in the context of wireless sensor networks.There are different factors by which topology of a network may be affected.Maintaining this topology in uncontrolled mobility of nodes and make it to work efficiently is a tedious task.In this paper, we propose an efficient topology management strategy based upon geographical forwarding information.Simulation experimentation reveals that geographically inspired virtual grid [GIVG] achieves significant improvements compared to other approaches in terms of energy consumption and communication overheads.
