Abstract

After the debunking of some myths about why P2P overlays are not feasible in sensornets, many such solutions have been proposed. None of the existing P2P overlays for sensornets provide "Energy-Level Application and Services". On this purpose and based on the efficient P2P method presented in [16], we design a novel P2P overlay for Energy Level discovery in a sensornet, the so-called ELDT (Energy Level Distributed Tree). Sensor nodes are mapped to peers based on their energy level. As the energy levels change, the sensor nodes would have to move from one peer to another and this oparation is the most crucial for the efficient scalability of the proposed system. Similarly, as the energy level of a sensor node becomes extremelly low, that node may want to forward it's task to another node with the desired energy level. The adaptation of the P2P index presented in [16] quarantees the best-known query performance of the above operation. We experimentally verify this performance via an appropriate simulator we have designed for this purpose.
