Geographic Routing in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks: In this paper, a Two-Phase Geographic Greedy Forwarding TPGF routing algorithm is proposed in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks WMSNs. TPGF is a pure geographic greedy forwarding routing algorithm, which does not include the face routing and does not use planarization algorithms. Simulation comparison in this paper indicates that TPGF is...; Tags: Algorithm, Multimedia, Network, Sensor, IEEE, Wireless, TPGF, Engineering; White papers 2009-01-14
Trajectory-Based Forwarding Mechanisms for Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks: Routing in ad-hoc sensor networks is a complicated task because of many reasons. The nodes are low powered and they cannot maintain routing tables large enough for well-known routing protocols. Because of that, greedy forwarding at intermediate nodes is desirable in ad-hoc networks. Also, for traffic engineering, multipath capabilities are...; Tags: Trajectory, Network, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Sensor, Productivity, Networking; White papers 2009-01-01
