Title

Lightweight Routing With Qos Support In Wireless Sensor And Actor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) can be used for monitoring physical environments and acting according to the observations. In order to differentiate the actions based on the sensed information, WSANs comprise of various applications with different quality of service (QoS) requirements. QoS solutions for WSANs are challenging compared to traditional networks because of the limited resource capabilities of sensor nodes. In terms of QoS requirements, WSANs also differ from WSNs since actors and sensors have distinct resource constraints. In this paper we present LRP-QS, lightweight routing protocol with QoS support for WSANs. Our protocol provides QoS by differentiating the rates among different types of applications with dynamic packet tagging at the sensor nodes and per flow management at the actor nodes. Through extensive simulations we observe a greater packet delivery ratio and a better memory consumption rate in comparison with the related mechanisms. ©2010 IEEE.
