Abstract
Numerous
practical considerations must to be factored into the design of the underlying
networking protocols for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. A major
requirement, for example, could be the need to involve more than one sink node,
i.e. more than one data destination, in the network. This is due to the need
for the WSN to monitor several phenomena with potentially different interested
parties for each monitored phenomenon. Another important consideration is synchronized
operation of the WSN nodes to ensure that the actions taken as a result of a
detected event are timely and accurate. While a number of routing protocols
have been proposed for WSNs, when these protocols are put in practical use, have
been found to be unable to provide the robust performance that is required for
many sensitive applications.
Authors present an innovative multi-sink routing protocol, which they
have labeled ECTP, designed for the oil and gas industry. The application
reliably synchronizes data delivery to multiple destinations (sinks). They have
conducted several practical experiments using actual WSN hardware to evaluate
the proposed protocol. They describe the results of their experiments and
propose future directions for research.
