Rumor Routing Algorithms for Sensor Networks - 09/13/2002
Wireless sensor networks consist of large populations of wireless connected
nodes. Advances in micro-sensor and radio technology enable small but smart
sensors to be deployed for a wide range of environmental monitoring
applications. Such small devices are very limited in the amount of energy
they can store or harvest from the environment. Thus, energy efficiency is a
main concern is a sensor network.
This paper proposed "Rumor Routing" protocol, which allows for quiries to be
delivered to events in the network, with energy requirements lower than the
alternatives (event flooding and query flooding). It is designed to be
tunable to different application requirements and allow for tradeoffs
between setup overhead and delivery reliability.
