Efficient and Reliable Topology Control based Opportunistic Routing Algorithm for WSNs
The opportunistic routing has advantages on improving the packet delivery
ratio between source node and candidate set (PDRsc). However, considering the
frequent topology variation in wireless sensor networks, how to improve and
control the PDR has not been investigated in detail. Therefore, in this paper,
we propose an efficient and reliable topology control based opportunistic
routing algorithm (ERTO) which takes PDRsc into account. In ERTO, the
interference and transmission power loss are taken into account during the
calculation of PDRsc. The PDRsc, the expected energy consumption, and the
relationship between transmission power and node degree are considered to
calculate the optimal transmission power and relay node degree jointly. For
improving the routing effective and reducing the calculation complexity, we
introduce the multi-objective optimization into the topology control. During
the routing process, nodes calculate the optimal transmission power and relay
node degree according to the properties of Pareto optimal solution set, by
which the optimal solutions can be selected. Based on these innovations, the
energy consumption, the transmission delay, and the throughout have been
improved greatly compared with the traditional power control based
opportunistic routing algorithms.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, 23 formula
