Abstract

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of low-cost, low-power and large-scale wireless sensor nodes. Routing protocols are an important topic in WSN. Every sensor node should use a proper mechanism to transmit the generated packets to its destination, usually a base station. In previous works, routing protocols use the global information of the network that causes the redundant packets to be increased. Moreover, it leads to an increase in the network traffic, to a decrease in the delivery ratio of data packets, and to a reduction in network life. In this paper, we propose a new inferential routing protocol called SFRRP (Static Three-Dimensional Fuzzy Routing based on the Receiving Probability). The proposed protocol solves the above mentioned problems considerably. The data packets are transmitted by hop-to-hop delivery to the base station. It uses a fuzzy procedure to transmit the sensed data or the buffered data packets to one of the neighbors called selected node. In the proposed fuzzy system, the distance and number of neighbors are input variables, while the receiving probability is the output variable. SFRRP just uses the local neighborhood information to forward the packets and is not needed by any redundant packet for route discovery. The proposed protocol has some advantages such as a high delivery ratio, less delay time, high network life, and less network traffic. The performance of the proposed protocol surpasses the performance of the Flooding routing protocol in terms of delivery ratio, delay time and network lifetime.

Highlights

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been considered during the last decades, as a result of wireless communication that has been in use since 1990 [1,2]
Thereupon, route discovery causes increasing network traffic, while decreasing the network lifetime. To solve these potential problems, we propose a new routing protocol called the Static Three-Dimensional Fuzzy Routing Based on the Receiving Probability (SFRRP) in wireless sensor networks
SFRRP uses fuzzy logic to select the best node to forward the packet towards the base station and a smaller number of nodes are involved in the routing process

Summary

Introduction

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been considered during the last decades, as a result of wireless communication that has been in use since 1990 [1,2]. A WSN is a wireless network formed by a large number of sensors, including thermal, pressure or accelerator sensors, to name a few. These sensors can sense and detect the environmental statistics, including temperature, pressure, movement, etc. Assuming that a node does not have any information about neighboring nodes and the overall topology of the network before its deployment, the node needs to go through an initial self-organization phase. This self-organization causes nodes to be aware of the neighbors and other criteria of the network, which will subsequently be used in the routing procedure. In data-centric routing, the data that is generated by one node is stored in another node determined by the name of the data
