An Angle-Area-Based Flood Routing Algorithm for Sensor Networks
Jing Peng · Computer Engineering and Science · 2005
Based on the characteristics of sensor networks,this paper proposes a new algorithm for angle-area-based flood routing(AAFR).The basic idea is that the packets generated by flooding are limited in a constructed angle area.Compared with traditional flooding,AAFR can reduce the routing overhead.In addition,it is also simpler and more effective than the hierarchical algorithm.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the new algorithm has better performance.
