Research on the flooding routing arithmetic of wireless sensor networks based on solar-blind UV light

Abstract

Tianjin University of Technology and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 In this paper the solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) light is used as communication medium for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Three types of single scattering UV communication models are introduced and a directional flooding model is proposed, which are based on the directionality of the UV communication and the traditional flooding routing model. The delay, delay jitter, throughput and energy consumption of the three types of communications of the new model are simulated and compared. The results indicate that the proposed directional flooding model can effectively avoid the unidirectionality and the blindness of the traditional flooding broadcast messages. The energy consumption of nodes in the network is reduced and the life cycle of the network is extended.
