Walk among Contact Areas Query Mechanism for Sensor Networks
|
Abstract:
Sensor networks may be viewed in several classes of applications as a distributed database,one of the main functions of sensor networks is to resolve queries.Walk among contact areas query mechanism,proposed in this paper,is designed for power-efficient queries in large-scale,location-free sensor networks.The mechanism borrows from theoretical results from small-world and uses contacts that act as short cuts,and hence reduces the average path length of networks and distance between querier and target;contac...
