IPSense ' Multi-Paradigm Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks

Authors

Abstract

Nowadays, many Wireless Sensor Networks' protocols have been developed, each trying to overcome constraints that characterize this type of networks. Each protocol can be integrated in one of the most common three ad hoc routing paradigms: node, data and location-centric. The IPSense model, presented in this paper, is an architecture that was developed at University of Coimbra, and that combines the three ad hoc communication paradigms, taking advantage of the characteristics of each communication paradigm: the address identification of the node, the ability to perform network queries based on locations and the service provided by each node.
