PREDICTIVE RE-ALIGNMENT STRATEGY FOR AGILE COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

After the diversification of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, the need for the most agile communication that can suit the current requirement and scenario is the trend. A number of methodologies to increase the efficiency of communication exist in the literature; however, this is the first attempt to design an agile communication strategy. This paper proposes a predictive re-alignment strategy to facilitate agile communication in the WSNs, where the nodes are capable of small mobility to re-align themselves while communication is on. The standard protocol used to compare the proposed Predictive Re-alignment Strategy (PRS) is Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV). Simulations show that the PRS has increased the overall network performance by 78%.
