Abstract

This paper presents the Data-Aggregation Aware Routing Protocol, DAARP, for wireless sensor networks. This novel protocol reduces the number of messages necessary to set up a routing tree, maximizes the number of overlapping routes, selects routes with the highest aggregation rate, and performs reliable data aggregation transmission. DAARP was compared to three existing solutions reported in the literature regarding communication costs, delivery efficiency, aggregation rate and aggregated data delivery rate. The results show that DAARP outperforms these solutions for different scenarios in all evaluations performed.
