Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are envisioned to support autonomous and spontaneous networking for a wide range of applications. Node addresses are essential to enable successful communication in sensor networks. This paper presents a novel address autoconfiguration scheme to automatically configure network-layer and MAC-layer addresses for sensor nodes with energy efficiency and fault tolerance. Computer simulation is conducted to study performance of address configuration, and the simulation result shows that the proposed address configuration scheme has low address collision rate and configuration overhead, even in case that network size is large and address space is small.
