延迟容忍移动无线传感器网络(delay tolerant mobile sensor network,简称DTMSN)用于广泛数据收集.一与传统的传感器网络不同,DTMSN具有节点移动性、间歇连通性并且能够容忍适当的延迟,因此传统传感器网络的数据收集算法不能适用.提出了一种基于相对距离感知的动态数据传输策略RDAD(relative distance-aware data deliveryscheme).RDAD采用传感器节点到汇聚点(sinknoae)的相对距离来计算节点传输概率的大小,并以此作为消息(message)传输时选择下一跳的依据,为优化复本管理,RDAD引入消息的生存时间ST(survival time)和消息最大复制数MR(maximal repljcation)决定队列中消息传递的优先顺序和丢弃原则.模拟实验表明,与现有的几种DTMSN数据传输算法相比,RDAD能够以较低的数据传输能耗和传输延迟获得较高的数据传输成功率,并且具有相对较长的网络寿命.
The delay tolerant mobile sensor network (DTMSN) is a type of sensor network used for pervasive information gathering. DTMSN distinguishes itself from conventional sensor networks by several unique characteristics such as sensor mobility, loose connectivity, and delay tolerability. Therefore, traditional data gathering methods cannot be applied. In this paper, a novel data gathering method named relative distance-aware data delivery scheme (RDAD) is proposed. RDAD introduces a simple non-GPS method with small overhead to gain the relative distance from a node to sink and then to calculate the node delivery probability which gives a guidance to message transmission. RDAD also employs the message survival time and message maximal replication to decide message's transmission and dropping for minimizing transmission overhead. Simulation results have shown that the proposed RDAD data delivery scheme does not only achieve a relatively long network lifetime but also get the higher message delivery ratio with lower transmission overhead and data delivery delay than other DTMSN data delivering approaches.
