Circular Update Directional Virtual Coordinate Routing Protocol In Sensor Networks

Abstract

In a wireless sensor network, virtual coordinates provide most of the advantages of geographic routing strategies without actually relying on the location information of the nodes. Using a mobile sink provides advantages such as distributing energy consumption throughout the network. However, nodes need to be updated about the new virtual coordinate of the mobile sink as it moves. In this paper, we propose Circular Update-Directional Virtual Coordinate Routing (CU-DVCR), an algorithm specialized in routing towards a mobile sink in virtual coordinates. Through a set of experimental studies we show that CU-DVCR consumes less energy compared to alternative algorithms while providing comparable performance.
