A Review of Cross-Layered Approach in Wireless Sensor Networks
Manvir Singh, Anil Kumar Verma · 2014
Abstract: Sensor networks offer many attractive low cost solutions to monitor environmental conditions. In almost all of its applications there is no existing infrastructure for communication. Therefore, it is crucial for sensor nodes to survive on small sources of energy and communicate using a wireless channel. For this the communication need to happen in an efficient manner. This can be achieved with help of cross-layered approach of implementing a protocol. The goal of this paper is to review some of the existing cross-layering methods which will be helpful for future research in the area.
