Robust Path Construction for Reliable Data Transmissions in Node Disjoint Multipath Routing for Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract: Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs) are prone to node breakdowns due to energy constraints, which
contribute to frequent topology changes. Moreover, since sensor nodes have
restricted transmission range, multiple hops are needed by the node in order to
forward the packets from one node to the other and this raises very challenging
issues when designing routing protocols. Most of the proposed single path routing
schemes use a periodic low-rate flooding of data in order to recover from path
failures, which causes higher consumption in sensor node resources. So
multipath routing is an optimal approach toenhance the network lifetime. In
this paper, a robust path construction for a reliable data transmission in node-disjoint
multipath routing (RNDMR) is proposed for WSNs. The proposed RNDMR has the
ability to provide a low overhead path construction as well as provide data
transmission reliability by using XORbased coding algorithm, which entails low
utilization of resources, such as low storage space and lesser computing power.
In the proposed RNDMR, the procedure involves the splitting up of all
transmitted messages into many different segments of equal size, before adding
the XOR-based error correctioncodes and distributing it among multiple paths
simultaneously in order to boost reliable data transmissionand to be assured
that the essential fragment of the packet arrives at the sink node without any
additional consumption of energy and undue delay. By using simulations, the
performance of RNDMR was assessed and compares it with ReInForm routing. The
results illustrate that RNDMR attains low energy consumption,records low
average delay and routing overhead, as well as increased packet delivery ratio
when compared with ReInForm Routing.
