Efficient routing and data management in sensor networks using virtual cord routing (VCP)

Abstract

We show the feasibility of efficient routing and service discovery in sensor networks using the Virtual Cord Protocol (VCP). Scalable and energy efficient data management is still a challenging topic in this domain. This problem domain is being addressed by recent Distributed Hash Table (DHT)- based approaches for data management in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In general, such solutions can be classified in three main categories: real location based, virtual location based, and location independent, whereby the most recent approaches for data management and routing in WSNs rely on virtual coordinate
