The concept of our algorithm is that a node with a high energy reserve acts for the good of the network by forwarding all messages that come to it, and by creating messages from all locally detected events. However, a node with a near-depleted energy reserve acts selfishly, by only forwarding or creating messages that have a high information content. If a node does not wish to participate in the routing of a message, it appears invisible by not responding to neighbour’s requests. The local energy level is also used to dynamically adjust the sensor sampling rate. The proposed algorithm supplements a conventional routing algorithm and, for the purposes of obtaining comparative results, message flooding is considered. | | ISBN: | 0-9767985-2-2 |
